Properly Yours

Araminta Morgan has spent her entire life learning how to be useful.

The right dress. The right smile. The right name remembered at the right time. As the daughter of one of New York's most powerful businessmen, she knows exactly what is expected of her-and exactly how much disappointment one wrong move can bring.

Eren Stowe was never supposed to become one of them.

After leaving the Army behind, he wanted something quieter. Executive protection seemed simple enough: stay close, keep his client safe, and never become part of their life.

Then he was assigned to Araminta.

Seven months later, Eren knows everything about her. He knows when she's about to run from a crowded room. He knows she twists the gold ring on her finger when she's anxious. He knows which version of her smile is real.

And Araminta knows he's pretending not to want her.

When the return of an old family name threatens to set her carefully planned future into motion, the line between what Araminta wants and what is expected of her begins to disappear.

Because falling for her bodyguard would be improper.

Choosing him could cost them everything.

But Araminta Morgan has spent her whole life belonging to everyone else.

Maybe it's time she decided who she belongs to.
