Defending Love

He’d die to protect her. He just can’t love her.

I’m Elijah Rhodes—top-tier agent for Guardian Security.

We protect the world’s elite: heads of state, royalty, billionaires, celebrities. The untouchable.

I didn’t come from that world.

I came from Special Ops, from impossible missions and impossible choices. The kind that harden a man until there’s nothing left worth saving.

That’s why I have rules:
No long-term assignments.
No repeat clients.
No attachments.
Protect. Leave. Forget.

It’s the only way I survive.

Until Dr. Danielle Sinclair.

Brilliant. Beautiful. Completely off-limits.

I protected her once—and then I walked away before she could see just how dangerous I really am.

Now, one year later, Dani’s life is on the line.

And every instinct I have demands I break every rule I’ve ever lived by to keep her safe.

Some lines shouldn’t be crossed.
Some rules were made to be broken.

I’ll protect Dani with my life.

But I can’t give her a heart I no longer have.

Have you been Aleatha’d?

DEFENDING LOVE is a steamy standalone romantic suspense featuring an elite bodyguard hero, second chances, forced proximity, danger, obsession, and all the feels—set in the world of the Sinclair Duet.
