His to Defend (Vows of Vengeance Book 2)

“My assignment is to keep your body breathing while you run this company. Your security belongs entirely to me, and you do not take a single breath without my permission.”

He’s the lethal underboss of the Chicago syndicate-a cold, unyielding predator with a scarred face, a black soul, and a bloody reputation.
I’m the boardroom-running tech genius who holds encryption keys to an energy empire.

When a devastating data breach compromises the Romano family’s assets, I am abruptly promoted to Executive Vice President of Operations and ordered south. My orders are simple: lock myself deep within a high-security five-thousand-acre plantation in West Texas and rewrite the corporate firewalls before a rival faction drains the Romano legacy to zero.

But I’m not traveling alone.

Don Julian has commanded Mario Leone to act as my personal shadow. He is a towering six-foot-five fortress of steel and hyper-vigilance, built for urban concrete and entirely out of his element in this wide-open country. To keep me safe, Mario wraps me in an iron cage of clinical distance and strict parameters, treating me like cargo he’s simply paid to keep alive.

But behind his frozen, unyielding general’s mask is a dark, possessive beast that grows completely unhinged every time another man steps within my perimeter. The physical proximity inside the estate is suffocating. The tension is white-hot. And as an inside traitor begins breaching our wire, the invisible boundaries of his city rules are starting to completely melt.

I told him he could guard my body, but he would never own my mind.
He’s about to prove that on this red dirt, he’s taking both.

It is a full-length, dual-POV novel featuring a fiercely protective, possessive alpha hero and a brilliant, stubborn heroine who refuses to break under his weight.
