More Than His Bodyguard

Ronan can take a bullet for Lord Alistair Vance. Asking for a kiss is another matter. For five years, the fearless bodyguard has stayed close enough to protect the man he loves—and kept his longing behind a grin. Alistair's lingering touches make that distance harder to bear. Then a ruthless syndicate targets the Vance estate, and Alistair's carefully guarded composure begins to crack. Behind locked doors, his tenderness gives Ronan reason to hope that devotion might finally become something they can name. With a glittering charity gala approaching and enemies closing in, Ronan must decide whether to risk the one thing his legendary courage has never protected: his heart. Tropes: bodyguard, pining, class difference, hurt/comfort. A guaranteed happily ever after. Closed door / sweet heat. Content notes: gun violence, blood, serious injuries, and medical peril.
