She needed protection from my family ... I needed protection from her heart ...
She was my ex-best friend’s little sister. Shy, gorgeous as hell, and did I mention completely off-limits?
Well, that is until she lands on my doorstep begging me for protection from my brother. She has no idea the kind of world she’s walked into, or that I’m no better of a man then the one searching for her.
But when she offers me her v-card—the last thing she has in exchange for protection—I can’t deny such a tempting offer. She’s everything I want, and everything I can never have.
When my brother finds out she’s under my protection and that I’ve been hiding her right under his nose, he gives me an ultimatum: marry her, or kill her. And since there’s no way in hell I’m going to let her die, I decided to make her mine ... forever.
