Only the Lucky: A Bodyguard Romantic Suspense (Sinful State Book 4)
About this ebook
She's brilliant. Controlled. A crisis-management CEO who refuses to believe she needs protection—until the world she's built so carefully turns against her. When KOAN assigns me to her detail, the rules are simple: keep her safe, keep her daughter safe, and don't cross lines that can't be uncrossed.
Living in her house makes that last rule harder by the day.
She's guarded, careful, and not inclined to share the whole truth—even with the man hired to protect her life. The more I watch her navigate a threat she never saw coming, a custody battle, and a life held together by sheer force of will, the clearer it becomes: the real risk isn't external. It's the secrets people protect because they think they're harmless.
She trusts me to secure her home. She doesn't trust me with the truth.
A daughter who watches everything. A reputation that can shatter with one wrong headline. A strength that hides exhaustion I know too well.
And sometimes, the most dangerous thing isn't the enemy in the shadows. It's what you're willing to risk when you finally stop pretending you don't care.
ONLY THE LUCKY is the fourth standalone novel in the Sinful State series, where protection turns personal, secrets cut deeper than any weapon, and jealousy proves just as deadly as a bullet.

About the author

Heart-pounding romance. Unforgettable heroes. Sizzling happily-ever-afters—with a side of suspense that'll keep you up way past bedtime.
I dreamed of being a writer as a kid but took the "safe" route: journalism degree, advertising career, MBA, corporate gigs at Chase and Universal. Then in 2020, I said screw it and published my first book. Twenty-five books later, I'm living the dream.
I'm also a mom to two teenage daughters who are perpetually mortified by my career choices. My husband's an entrepreneur whose latest product is Nampons (yes, it rhymes with tampons and yes, it's for nosebleeds). Between my spicy romance and his biz... we've cornered the market on parental embarrassment.
My books feature tough characters facing tougher choices, compelling suspense, and storylines that'll make you think. But no matter how dark things get, my people always choose love.
