He thought he could deny himself forever ... until fate threw them together. A diplomat and her bodyguard embark on a daring rescue mission in this steamy space opera romance adventure.
Malik swore an oath to protect the Mir-Brennan clan-lord and his family with his life. But that doesn't stop him from wanting the sister of the man he serves-a woman he can never have. Ambassador Jenna Mir-Brennan is married and barely acknowledges his existence.
However, when Malik escorts Jenna on a peace mission, the line he never thought he'd cross starts to blur.
Jenna's marriage is over. After two years of hell, she's dragged up the courage to leave her bullying husband. Now she's focused on negotiating a ceasefire with the enemy.
But from the moment she sets off on her mission, she finds it hard to keep her mind on the job. The man leading her security team both unnerves and fascinates her. She doesn't want any romantic entanglements, especially with her bodyguard, yet now she's at risk of losing her hard-won composure.
When disaster strikes, Jenna and Malik are thrown together in a fight for survival. Passion ignites, tearing down the boundaries between ambassador and bodyguard.
Out of her depth, Jenna's sure that Malik will be her ruin.
But he fears she will be his.
