Why we recommend it

A forbidden protector and an age-gap pull anchor this forced-proximity romance that opens a new series. The hero's duty to guard collides with everything he shouldn't feel, building tension through closeness and restraint. Possessive, protective, and laced with the thrill of crossing a line, it suits readers who love off-limits attraction, watchful alphas, and the slow erosion of willpower when two people simply can't keep their distance.
