Hostile

I’ve spent months getting under Penelope Driscoll’s skin. Now I’m the bodyguard she has to trust with her life.

She’s gorgeous, uptight as hell, and way too much fun to piss off.

And she hates me.

When a hostile takeover turns ugly, she calls Hollywood Guardians.

Lucky her, they send me.

Now I’m living in her house, following her everywhere, and discovering that tormenting my Duchess is a lot less fun when someone else is trying to kill her.

I don’t do serious. I don’t do vulnerable. The jokes, the flirting, the bullsh*t? They keep people from looking too closely at the parts of me I buried a long time ago.

Too bad Penelope keeps asking questions I don’t want to answer.

And the longer I’m stuck at her side, the harder it gets to pretend my obsession with her is only about getting a reaction.

Meanwhile, whoever wants her out of the way isn’t playing corporate games anymore. The threats are escalating, someone is willing to kill for what Penelope built, and the deeper we dig, the more it looks like this started long before the takeover.

They want her scared enough to give up.

That’s not happening.

Somewhere along the way, my favorite game stopped being making Penelope lose control and became making damn sure nobody ever hurts her.

And whoever keeps coming for my Duchess is about to find out I’m a hell of a lot less fun when I’m pissed off.
