My Body Guard

They say everyone in this city has a price, but for Elia (Jayna), the price had already been paid in blood and cold marble.

To the world, Giselle Kensington (Ginny) was the "Queen of the Warehouse District"-a woman of ice and iron who ruled an empire with a flick of her wrist. To Elia, she was a beautiful, terrifying gravity. A woman who didn't just want a bodyguard; she wanted a soul to keep in a gilded cage.

Elia was the "Perfect Shadow." Born in the gutters, forged in poverty, and sharpened into a weapon of silent efficiency. She lived by a code of steel and discipline, a code that had kept her alive when she had nothing. But discipline is a fragile thing when it meets a woman like Giselle, who views "No" as a challenge and "Mine" as a law.

But shadows are cast by more than one light.

Hidden in the city's underground was Francine, the "Ghost of the Gutters." A girl from Elia's past who carried a different kind of fire-a silent, aching love disguised as sisterhood. While Giselle wanted to own Elia's future, Francine held the keys to the girl Elia used to be before the suits, the guns, and the Kensington name.

One woman offered a throne; the other offered a home.

In a world of spiked drinks, predatory business deals, and hidden portraits, the line between protection and possession was about to blur. Elia thought she could survive by staying in the dark, but as the clock ticked toward midnight, she was about to realize that when two suns rise at once, the shadow is the first thing to burn.

The debt was called. The Queen was waiting. And the past was no longer content to stay hidden.

"You are mine, Elia. Every breath you take... you belong to me."

The war for the Shadow had begun.
