Description
Isabelle Reese Laurent is everything a professor should be-brilliant, sophisticated, and terrifyingly strict. Born into wealth and prestige, she has spent her life carving her own path, refusing to rely on her family's influence. But when threats against her parents extend to her, she finds herself trapped under their command once more. Their solution? A personal bodyguard. Gabrielle Quinn Louise Cortez grew up knowing two things: the harshness of the world and the strength to fight against it. With a past shaped by struggles and a mother she cherishes above all, she has built a reputation as a protector-fierce, skilled, and unshakable. But nothing prepares her for her newest job: guarding the cold and untouchable professor, Isabelle Laurent. Isabelle sees Gabrielle as an intrusion. Gabrielle sees Isabelle as a challenge. But as danger creeps closer and their forced proximity turns into something more, they soon realize that some battles aren't fought with fists or weapons-but with feelings neither of them expected. In a world where status separates them and danger lurks in the shadows, will Gabrielle be able to protect Isabelle from the threats outside... and the emotions growing between them? A story of duty, desire, and the undeniable pull of love.
