Guarded by my Grumpy Enemy

A Forced Proximity, Opposites Attract, Single Dad Romance

I swore I’d never need a man.
Until a forced lockdown turned my grumpy bodyguard into my biggest temptation.

Ethan Cole is the last man I want around.
Brooding, controlling, maddeningly competent.
He treats me like a mission, not a person.

I’m the billionaire tech CEO.
Confident. Independent. Highly skilled.
He’s ex-military, hired to protect me.

Then someone tries to kill me.
And now I’m trapped in a safehouse with him … and one bed.

He watches me when he thinks I’m not looking.
Cooks me breakfast.
Makes me feel safe—for the first time in years.

I try not to fall for him, especially with a daughter he never talks about.
But it’s already too late.

Everywhere we go, they’re one step behind, with guns drawn and no mercy.
He takes a bullet to keep me alive.

And while I’m covered in his blood, begging him to hold on —
I realize the real threat isn’t losing my company.
It’s losing him.
