Stuck With My Protector

A Mistaken Identity Contemporary Romance

One closet. One night.
Now I’m risking my badge—and maybe my heart—for a woman I barely know.

I didn’t know her name when we got shoved into that closet.

Just that she was curvy, gorgeous, and clutching my arm like she trusted me.
We were hiding. Breathing each other in.
Adrenaline made everything feel sharp. Urgent. Inevitable.

We left that closet and fell into bed like gravity made the decision for us.
One night. No names. No reason to ever see her again.

But fate has other plans.

Because she’s somehow tied to the symbol in my missing person case.
And I’m forced to keep her close while everything around us turns deadly.

Now we’re sharing motel rooms, half-truths, and too many stolen glances.
She’s unpredictable, impossible, and nothing like anyone I should fall for.
But she makes me feel alive.

I swore I wouldn’t let anyone get close again.
But she’s already under my skin.

And the more I uncover about her past—
The more I wonder if she’ll be the one to destroy mine.
