Protocol: Avenge: Second Chance / Dark Bodyguard Romance (The Garrison Protocols #3)
Sloane Mercer
CALEB
They call me "Saint," but I’m a monster. As the enforcer for Garrison Security, I exist to inflict violence so others don't have to. My body is a roadmap of torture scars, a constant reminder of the cage I survived. I can’t stand the feel of human skin. I flinch at a handshake.
Except with her.
Dr. Maya Lin. The woman I abandoned. The trauma surgeon who heals what I destroy.
I thought watching her from the shadows was enough. I thought I could keep my distance. But when a ruthless crime lord targets her hospital, the shadows aren't safe anymore.
I’m done hiding. I’m stepping back into the light to become her shield. She hates me for leaving, and I don’t blame her. But she’s the only one who can touch my scars without fear. And God help the man who tries to take her from me this time.
MAYA
He ghosted me. One day he was my everything, the next he was gone, leaving me with a broken heart and a million unanswered questions.
Now, five years later, Caleb St. John is back. He’s bigger, darker, and more terrifying than the man I remember. He says he’s here to protect me from a threat I didn't see coming.
He’s a wall of muscle and ink, a silent beast who stands between me and death. But when we’re alone, the lethal enforcer trembles at my touch. The heat between us isn't just a spark; it's an inferno that threatens to burn Chicago to the ground.
I can save his life. I can stitch his wounds. But can I trust the monster who shattered my heart not to break it all over again?
