Mine to Defend

Serenity never imagined betrayal could feel this sharp-her husband wasn't just unfaithful, he had been living a double life for years, a whole other family hidden behind his lies. Broken, furious, and determined to take back control of her life, she seeks help-and finds Hiromi Higuruma.

Hiromi isn't the kind of man who just handles cases. He protects. He observes, calculates, and when someone even thinks of crossing the line, he's there-cold, precise, terrifyingly good at making people regret it. Touch her, and you're done. That's not a threat; that's a promise.

To Serenity, Hiromi is chaos wrapped in control, a man who shields her with a force so absolute it's impossible not to feel safe-and impossible not to feel drawn to him. Every case becomes a battlefield, every courtroom a warzone, but with Hiromi by her side, she knows no one can harm her without consequences. And as the walls between them crumble, Serenity realizes he doesn't just want to protect her from the world... he wants to claim her entirely, in ways that leave no room for anyone else.

Mine to defend. Mine to hold. Mine, and anyone who dares step too close will learn exactly what that means.
