Description

📖 Paperback Edition — He was hired to protect him. Not to break him open.

Nico Ashworth is a disaster in designer clothes. At twenty-two, he’s the heir to a $14 billion tech empire, a permanent fixture in the tabloids, and the single biggest headache his father’s security division has ever produced. He ditches his bodyguards for sport. He provokes everyone he meets. And the night he slips his detail at a Lower Manhattan nightclub, two men corner him in an alley who aren’t interested in his autograph.

Declan Shaw is six-four, two hundred forty pounds, and the most dangerous man in any room he enters. An ex-Special Forces operative turned head of security, he tracks Nico down, neutralizes the threat in under ten seconds, and throws a kicking, screaming billionaire heir over his shoulder like a piece of luggage.

Then he fires the entire security team and locks them both in the penthouse.

The rules are simple: don’t leave without permission. Don’t touch without permission. And don’t push unless you’re ready for what happens when he pushes back.

What starts as a lockdown becomes a power exchange. What starts as control becomes worship. And what starts as a bodyguard’s iron discipline becomes something neither of them can classify under any contract — because the bratty billionaire heir has never been held like this, and the man holding him has never wanted to hold on.
