Under Their Guard

Four women guard my life. They've sworn to protect me at all costs.

I exposed the Bellante crime family, and they sent a car bomb as their reply.

The security team arrived before the smoke cleared-women who moved like soldiers and made my safety their only priority. They swept me to a safehouse mansion in the middle of nowhere, secured behind iron gates and surveillance cameras.

Kara: the unshakable leader who commands with a touch.
Ellie: the medic whose gentle hands make me forget what boundaries are.
Cam: the silent bruiser who speaks in looks that burn.
Alex: the strategist who watches me like she's solving an equation.

Protection felt like seduction. Safety felt like surrender.
But surveillance cameras don't just keep threats out-they watch everything inside too.
And the four women guarding my life are keeping secrets of their own.

Under Their Guard is a dark sapphic bodyguard why-choose romance with morally grey protectors, forced proximity, high heat (without cheating), hurt/comfort, found-family vibes, and a journalist who chooses them all. HFN ending with no cliffhanger-their story will continue in book two.
