The Bodyguard's Obsession

𝐀 𝐠𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐜𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐚 𝐜𝐚𝐠𝐞.

Everyone tells Evelyn Sterling how lucky she is. As the youngest daughter of one of San Francisco's most powerful businessmen, she has money, beauty, privilege, and everything people dream of having.

But nobody sees the bars.

Her father controls everything where she goes, who she speaks to, who she befriends, whether she can date, and even how she spends her college years. He calls it protection. Evelyn calls it a prison. All she has ever wanted is something painfully ordinary: friends, freedom, and a life that belongs to her.

Then a threat against her father changes everything, and Evelyn gets a new shadow.

𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐬 𝐑𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧.

Twenty-nine. Six-foot-two. Former street fighter. Professionally trained. Cold as steel, intimidating as hell, and almost impossible to read.

His assignment is simple: protect 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐲𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠. Nothing more.

But Evelyn isn't the spoiled billionaire's daughter he expected. She's quiet, lonely, and exhausted from a life she never chose. Beneath her silence is a girl desperately trying to escape the golden cage her father built around her. Silas is supposed to protect her from the dangers outside. Instead, he becomes the first person who truly sees her. And the closer he gets, the harder it becomes to remember where his duty ends and his obsession begins.

Because Silas Raven doesn't know how to protect something without becoming possessive of it.

She was born into a golden cage.

He was hired to guard it.

Neither of them expected him to become the key.
