Guarding The Mafia Princess

"We can't keep doing this," he muttered, glancing around like someone might catch them any second. She cupped his face, her thumbs brushing his stubbled jaw. "Tell me you don't feel this fire between us.” "I don't!" he retorted, but his body betrayed him; his hard length strained against his pants. "Liar,” she smiled coyly. “Your mouth says one thing, but this…” Her eyes dropped deliberately. “...says you want to break every rule for me.” ***** Isabella Damiano, the only daughter of a powerful New York mafia boss, has always been kept safe and locked away, but all she wants is a taste of real freedom. Then one night she's kidnapped and rescued by Alexander Bradford, an ex-soldier, who is drowning in debt and desperate to save his dying mother. Her father, Salvatore Damiano, offers him a deal he can't turn down: become Isabella's personal bodyguard. But the only rule? Keep her alive... or die trying. Isabella hates him instantly; to her, he’s just another jailer in a suit. And to him, she's a spoiled rich girl who'll get them both in trouble. But the more Isabella provokes him, the more their hate turns into something hot, dark, and dangerous. They can't keep their hands off each other — even though one wrong move could put a bullet in his head. As Alexander struggles to keep Isabella alive, they discover that someone within the family wants her dead. Can they figure out who the real enemy is before it's too late? Because one mistake won't just take away her freedom... It will end in blood.
