Defending Love: An Elite Bodyguard Romantic Suspense by Aleatha Romig

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.
