Falling For My Ruthless Protector
It has always been my father and me.
He is a good man, but like everyone else, he makes mistakes. This time, the one he made has gotten him into a lot of trouble. He asked the wrong people for money, and now, they are threatening violence against not only him but me.
He has only one choice: He needs to disappear until he can sort things out. I want to go with him, but he has other ideas. To protect me from the dangers he has put himself in, he leaves me with one person he knows he can trust. Ambrose Calloway. A man I know well, one who is ruthless and heartless. The last person I want to stay with, but when my father begs me, I can’t say no.
I would rather stay with anyone else! He doesn’t want me around and only agrees because he owes my father a favour. Now, here I am, staying in a mansion with a man who hates me. The feeling is mutual. He promises my father that he will protect me until he comes back.
People seem to fear Ambrose, but I have never understood why.
What I don’t expect is that I would learn secrets about him that make me understand why no one messes with him. I wish I had realised from the start just how much danger I was in.
I plan to make his life hell, but sometimes, when the tension and anger become too much, two people find other ways to take it out on one another that don’t involve arguments.
I am not looking for a protector, but Ambrose becomes everything I didn’t know I needed, but it still won’t make life any easier.

Chapter: Chapter Six SierraWhat is he doing here? How did he know where I was?“What are you doing here, Ambrose?” I snap and glare at him.“Let’s go. You know why I am here.” He replies bluntly.“No. I am enjoying time with my new friends.”Ambrose draws in a breath, and his jaw tightens. What has he got to be mad at? He is the one trying to ruin my fun.“No, we are leaving.”One of the guys I am with, Percy, I believe his name is, gets to his feet. “She said she doesn’t want to leave.” He hisses.Ambrose turns his attention to him. If looks could kill, he would be a dead man. Ambrose steps closer to him. Percy’s shoulders slump, and any confidence he has disappears. There is something about Ambrose's stare that even causes a shiver to run through me.“This is none of your business. Sit your ass down, little boy.” Ambrose warns.He does as he is told. I can see Percy’s friends tensing, not looking happy with Ambrose talking to their friend in such a way. Ambrose does realise there are four of them and o

Chapter: Chapter Five AmbroseI have never been so eager to get to the office as I am today. It has not even been three days, and I am at my wits’ end with Sierra. We have already had two arguments today over nothing. If she weren’t Anthony’s daughter, she would be left on her own. Never in my life has anyone gotten under my skin in the way she can, and I have dealt with a lot of assholes in my life.“I will send someone to pick you up. I would do it myself, but I have an important meeting this afternoon which I forgot about. I will be home at five. Someone will stay with you until I return.”I turn to face her in time to see her screw up her face and roll her eyes.“Or I can make my own way back. I am not a child. I have pepper spray in my bag.” She protests.“Yes, because that will do you good if someone tries to shoot you. You will be picked up. I will send you a photo and a name so you know who it is.” I reply, emotionless.“Shoot me? What the fuck? Why would you say that to me?” she says, her eyes wid

Chapter: Chapter Four SierraI hated lying to Abby. Well, not as much lied as held back information. All she knows is I need to stay with Ambrose because of some trouble my father has gotten into. I will see her on campus; we take most of the same classes, and we also meet outside of class. Ambrose can try to stop me, but it won’t work. It isn’t like I am going off grid. She tried to ask questions, but Ambrose quickly dismissed her, and she dropped the subject.We are back at his place. I am in “my room”, as Ambrose keeps referring to it. It is not my damn room! I will be out of here at the first opportunity I can get. Sitting at the bottom of the bed, I can’t help but think about my father. I hope he is okay and found somewhere safe. I pray he will be in touch soon, even for a moment, to tell me he is okay. I need him to be safe.The tears build again. A distraction would be beneficial. I glance over my shoulder at the two suitcases and the duffel bag containing my belongings. Maybe unpacking will help. I

Chapter: Chapter Three AmbroseI am exhausted as I sit down for my morning coffee. I didn’t sleep at all. I knew Sierra would try to leave at some point. I didn’t want her either, but I will keep her safe like I promised. No matter how much she annoys me. Her father knows that leaving her with me would keep her safe from any danger. No one will try to get to her. They know better.The sound of Sierra coming downstairs pulls me from my thoughts. I know she didn’t sleep either. I heard her tossing and turning. She was also crying at one point. I can only imagine how hard this must be for her. She has always been close to her father.I take a sip of my coffee and nearly choke on it when she comes into view. She is only in my tee and her panties.“Where are the joggers I gave you?” I ask.I don’t want to see her in such an outfit or lack of. No matter how damn good she looks in my tee. Her long, dark hair is tied back in a messy bun. No make-up in sight. She still looks beautiful.Sierra shrugs. “In the room. I

Chapter: Chapter Two SierraI climb into the backseat of Ambrose’s town car. I am a mess. I am upset and heartbroken. My father left not too long ago. It was one of the hardest goodbyes of my life. I don’t know what I am going to do without him. I can’t even call him. Anything that could be tracked has been left behind.“I could have driven myself.” I snap as he slips in next to me.“Someone will drive your car to my place.”“Or better yet, you take it to my apartment because tomorrow I will be going back there,” I say firmly and cross my arms over my chest.“No, you won’t be. You will stay with me until your father returns, or we get word you are out of harm’s way.”“I am not staying with you.” I hiss, getting more irritated by the second.“Yes, you are. I promised your father.” He hisses back.“You can’t force me to stay!”“Yes, I can. You are staying at mine. End of discussion, Sierra.” He says sternly.“What are you going to do? Lock me up in your fucking basement or cuff me to the bed.”Who does he t

Chapter: Chapter One SierraI pull up outside my father’s house. I am staying the night. I was out with some friends, and my father’s place was closer than my apartment. I do try to come and stay with him once a week because he gets lonely. We lost my mother when I was only four years old. It has been over twenty years, and he has never remarried. He has dated, but it didn’t go anywhere. He loved my mother too much to give his heart to anyone else. It is sweet and romantic, but I also want him to be happy and in love again. He has put all his focus on me and the business.When I climb out of the car, I notice a familiar car parked too. What the hell is Ambrose doing here at midnight? Ambrose is a man I have known for a long time. He and my father have a close relationship. My father took him under his wing when he was in his late teens. He also assisted him with his business, making it possible for him to create a better life for himself. I don’t know much about his family, only that he didn’t get along w
