When a mafia princess's life is threatened, she is forced to accept the help of a bodyguard-the emotionally damaged underboss of a crime family, her ex-boyfriend.  

Standalone in the Sons of Sin series
 
*** 
 
Eva and Reaper were once in love and full of hope. Their relationship came to a dramatic end when the pressure of Eva's political engagement to Reaper's best friend-Torin-became too much. Upon miscarrying their unborn child, Eva turned to Reaper for support, only to be let down when he used alcohol as a coping mechanism. A year later, the two cannot be in the same room as each other without hurling abuse. But when an unknown threat attempts to take Eva's life, Reaper is assigned as her bodyguard. Eva is determined to make him quit and he is just as determined to hang on. But beneath the hostility are unresolved feelings and profound wounds that they'll have to move past to figure out who's trying to kill Eva and why.

When Evangeline Ryder, the beautiful daughter of a former Hollywood heartthrob, is faced with yet another one of her father's scandals, she's forced to put aside her independence and rely on Gabe, the handsome new bodyguard hired to keep her safe. Little does she know, he's more than just her protector - he might just be her biggest threat yet. Season 1 of The Bodyguard Club *** Trapped in the spotlight, 23-year-old Evangeline craves nothing more than to escape the suffocating pressures of fame and reclaim her independence. But when her stalker grows bolder and her movie star father is arrested for tax evasion, Eva's world spins out of control as she's forced to hire a new bodyguard, Gabe. The last thing Evangeline wants is more security, but despite her resistance, she finds herself inexplicably drawn to Gabe, a far cry from the polished Hollywood actors she's used to dating. What Evangeline doesn't realize is that Gabe isn't just her protector-he's a threat. Secretly involved with a criminal gang, he's planning to rob her during an upcoming gala to pay off his debts. As their chemistry intensifies, the line between professionalism and desire blurs, and both struggle to keep their distance, knowing that trust could lead to heartbreak-or worse. Gabe must decide if the reward is worth the risk, while Eva starts to question whether to trust the glitz and glamour she's always known - or the one man who could hurt her the most.

"The Angel and The Royal Devil" 🖤 "If he doesn't stop staring at you in five seconds, I'll fuck you against this table and you'll come while locking eyes with him." I sucked in a breath, my eyes widening in disbelief as I confronted his impassive expression. He meant business, and there was no denying it. "Five," he declared, his gaze fixed on Joseph, who showed no sign of backing down, continuing to stare at me. "Four." "Stop fucking staring at me, Jo!" I slammed my hands on the table in frustration, my breath hitching and shallow, head spinning at the idea of Salvo taking me in front of a crowd. "Three," Salvo hushed, Joseph's gaze remaining steadfastly fixed on me. "Two." "Please, Joseph," I pleaded. He didn't shift his gaze from me, nor did he blink. "One." Before I could breathe, Salvo lifted me up, my face right in front of Joseph. My ass pointed at Salvo, making things a bit edgy. I held onto the table, feeling the tension. A sneaky grin appeared on Jo's face as Salvo forcefully ripped my gown. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Haunted by a psycho stalker for three years, Luna Percy's life darkens when she falls for notorious mafia leader Salvo Ambrose aka The Royal Devil.
