Under His Guard
She was dying.
He was hired to keep her alive.
Falling in love was the one thing neither of them was allowed to do.
Twenty-one–year-old Aria Hale has a rare terminal illness that’s slowly shutting down her body. To the world she’s the pale, sheltered heiress locked away by an overprotective father. But Aria is done waiting for death. She wants to live—really live—even if it kills her.
Her reckless escape plans force her father to assign his most dangerous asset: Kade Wolfe—ex–special forces, cold, unbreakable, and bound by a contract not to touch her.
When Aria’s illness spirals, secrets unravel, enemies close in, and her father threatens to separate them, Kade is forced to cross a line he can never uncross.
If loving her is dangerous…
then losing her will destroy him.
