He thinks I’m off-limits. But rules were made to be broken.

I’m the perfect daughter—an heiress with a spotless reputation and a ring on my finger to prove it. But perfection is a fragile thing, and mine shatters the moment I meet Isaak.
My bodyguard.
Ex-military. Battle-scarred. All sharp edges and dark glances.
He’s the last man I should want—older, all grit and danger, and everything my family would never approve of.
Also, he hates me.
He thinks I’m spoiled, entitled, a rich girl playing pretend.
But there’s one thing he can’t fake:
The way his eyes darken when I walk into the room.
The way his jaw clenches when another man gets too close.
The way his touch—his bed—is the only place I feel safe.
I'm engaged to a man my family has chosen for me.
But my body betrays me whenever Isaak is near.
I thought my stalker was my biggest problem.
I was wrong.
Because every time Isaak whispers my name, it feels like a promise.
