A beautiful billionaire in danger. A grumpy Ex-SEAL bodyguard. And powers of attraction that will break all the rules. Some people call me a billionaire heiress. But I'd rather they call me Ava Larson, founder and CEO of Digital Wave Solutions. I am an entrepreneur focused on solving problems for people. I am proud of the business I built all by myself - without Dad's money. I make my own decisions. So when my father hired Alex Kipling as my personal bodyguard - without my consent - I was not happy. I don't think I need a defender. Not only is Alex an Ex-Navy SEAL, he is disturbingly well-built. And he has his own ideas about keeping me safe from the stalker who recently sent threats to me at my company. Sparks flew between us from Day One. As the threats grow more serious, though, I find myself stuck in Alex's presence more and more. And there is more to him beyond the eagle eyes, stoic attitude and the hard body I find so f**ing attractive in spite of myself. He is smart, caring, and compassionate. And completely at my service . This beautiful man can be gentle, but he knows when to be rough, too. My heart might need a protector, after all.
