VesperRaven8
Two worlds.
One forced vow.
A protector who sees too much.
Avyannah Rose Morgan is not the submissive daughter her parents want her to be. Fierce, brilliant, and newly licensed as a doctor, she has spent years fighting for a career that her controlling family wants to trade for a wedding ring. The deal was simple, they would fund her medical studies only if she married the man of their choosing.
Now, that debt has come due.
Asher Black is the formidable heir to Black Enterprises, a man who built his life around the boardroom, not the bedroom. He has no room for a wife. However, when his parents issue a ruthless ultimatum marry Morgan's daughter or lose the CEO chair forever, Asher is forced to make the ultimate trade. To him, Avyannah isn't a partner; she is the price he must pay to keep his empire.
Ethan Eros Kozlov lives by a strict code, observation, protection, and silence. As he works for the elite security firm, his job is to ensure the safety of the Black family and their high-stakes events. He doesn't care about the gossip behind closed doors or the politics of the wealthy,
he only cares about the perimeter.
"But at the lavish engagement event meant to seal Avyannah's fate, the perimeter breaks.
When a sudden moment of chaos forces the defiant doctor and the silent guardian together, Ethan sees past Avyannah's diamond-crusted exterior to the trapped woman underneath.
Avyannah is ready to burn her world down to keep her freedom, and Ethan is the man hired to keep everything under control.
In a world where loyalty is bought and every move is watched, Avyannah must decide if she can trust the man whose job is to keep her from running.
