SAFE

Amadeus Dashiel "Dash" Arnault

He was hired to keep her safe. He wasn't supposed to fall for her.

To the elite security world, Dash is a ghost, a cold, lethal operative who executes high-stakes protection details with surgical precision. To his family, he's a man running from a multi-billion-dollar corporate empire he refuses to touch.

When Dash is assigned to guard Arabella Simmons, the sharp, fiercely independent daughter of a prominent U.S. Senator, his orders are simple: check the perimeters, enforce the rules, and maintain a strict three-pace buffer zone.

Except Bella refuses to be managed.

Defiant, brilliant, and deeply suspicious of the men controlling her life, Bella sees straight through Dash's cold, stoic armor. But as unexpected threats close in, the forced proximity between them shatters every protocol, igniting a raw, intense connection neither of them can stop.

Then the shadows of his past catch up to his present.

Dash realizes Bella's assignment isn't a coincidence, and the dangerous game being played around her is far bigger than she knows. Caught between an assignment designed to manipulate her and his fierce, growing devotion to her safety, Dash is pushed to his absolute limit.

When the stakes escalate and trust becomes a dangerous gamble, how far will a man who lives in the shadows go to protect the only woman who has ever brought him into the light?
