Lethally Tender

Laura Bane just wanted a quiet life, a tech job, and maybe a hot shower that lasted longer than five minutes. What she got instead was going viral for body-slamming armed robbers on a highway and accidentally saving the life of billionaire tech CEO Steve Freeman. Now, Steve is offering her a job. Not in tech. Not in coding. But as his personal bodyguard. There’s only one problem: Laura looks like she can’t carry her own groceries. Petite, adorable, and often mistaken for someone in need of rescuing, Laura is hiding a monstrous secret... her family’s supernatural strength. She’s a legacy of chaos wrapped in pink lip gloss and sarcasm, and she’s spent her whole life trying not to stand out. But between assassination attempts, gala ambushes, and a growing crush on the man she's supposed to protect, Laura’s quiet days are officially over. Now she’s guarding a billionaire who doesn’t like being guarded, fending off old crushes (hello, Mark O’Brien... the dreamy cop from high school), and getting tangled in a corporate conspiracy masterminded by Steve’s very own brother. She's bulletproof. She’s overqualified. And she's definitely not wearing the heels Dante picked out ever again. If Laura can keep Steve alive long enough, she just might earn her dream job in tech... But falling in love with her billionaire boss? Totally not part of the plan.
