Description
About His Rival’s Bodyguard
My father died with his name on his lips. Now he’s the only man keeping me alive.
My father died with a bullet in his chest and Roman Varga’s name on his lips.
The Warden. The Varga family’s security chief. The man standing over me while the blood was still warm on the marble.
He says his people didn’t order the hit. He says someone wants Harbor City at war.
I told him to go to hell. Then my own family’s car blew up with my name on the manifest.
Now I’m locked in a safe house with one bed, a perimeter I can’t cross, and a man who watches me like I’m the only thing in the city worth guarding. He has rules. I’ve never met one I didn’t break.
Roman Varga doesn’t protect anything halfway.
And if I let him keep me, I’ll have to become the kind of king who burns two empires to keep him back.
His Rival’s Bodyguard is a dark, high-heat MM mafia romance with a rival heir and the enemy’s most lethal man, forced proximity, only one bed, a contract written on safe-house notepaper, a bodyguard who unloads his gun before he lays a hand on his prince, on-page violence, a lot of on-page spice, no cheating, and a guaranteed HEA. Dual first-person POV. Book 1 of Kings of Harbor City.
