Protecting the Gumpy CEO: A Forced Proximity Romantic Suspense (Sierra Bravo Security #1)

I was hired to protect her. Now I’m the reason she’s in danger.

Avery Lane is everything I can’t stand—rich, reckless, and stubborn as hell.

Too bad she’s also my new job.

The corporate board wants her protected, but Avery doesn’t believe the threats are real.

Until her car is tampered with.

Until bullets start flying.

Until I’m the only thing standing between her and whoever wants her dead.

She starts trusting me. Looking at me like I’m more than just hired muscle.

I can’t resist the sudden vulnerability in her eyes. Every accidental touch feels deliberate, a temptation I can't ignore. Being close to her isn't just about protection anymore—it has become a desire I can't fight.

Our first kiss was inevitable. I have no excuse for what happened next.

I’ve fallen for her and a bullet would be easier to stop than my feelings.

But the people after her don’t just want her software. They want her gone.

And if I can’t stop them…they’ll take her from me forever.
