Maria I’m supposed to be focused on movie deals and book signings, not stalkers and sabotage. But someone’s messing with my schedule—changing events, sending creepy gifts, and calling me by a name no one should know. So now I’m stuck with my father’s favorite guard dog. Fidel Cedillo: hacker, bodyguard, my lifelong shadow. He’s calm, dangerous, and infuriatingly unreadable… until he’s not. One look and I remember every reason I should never want him. And every reason I do. And if he thinks I’ll sit quietly behind his firewall, he’s out of his damn mind. I can break his rules. I just have to figure out how to break his control.>br> Fidel Protecting Maria Sandoval used to be simple. Keep her safe. Keep my distance. But she’s not the little girl I once guarded—she’s all fire and defiance in a leather mini-skirt, daring me to lose my focus. Every time she smiles, my code scrambles. Every time she touches me, I forget the rules I swore to live by. And when the threat closing in on her turns deadly, the line between duty and desire disappears for good. Because this time, I’m not just guarding the boss’s daughter. I’m fighting for the woman who owns me. Hacks. Heat. Heartbreak. And one rule shattered beyond repair: hands off Maria.
