I thought the worst thing that could happen to me was a brooding, ex-military bodyguard hired to babysit me.
Grayson Holt watches my every move. Judges every decision. He’s silent, unyielding, and far too willing to put his hands on me if he thinks it’ll keep me from self-destructing.
But when betrayal shatters my world, he’s the one who catches me before I break completely.
He grounds me.
Strips me down to my instincts.
Rebuilds me into something I barely recognize.
And once he decides I’m his responsibility, he doesn’t just protect me.
He claims me.
