Overview

He was hired to protect her business. She was determined to stand alone. Neither expected a little girl's drawing would reshape their definition of family. Tiana I built my restaurant and raised my daughter with the same philosophy-rely on no one but yourself. As one of the few Black female chef-owners in the city, I learned early that showing vulnerability wasn't an option. When threatening notes escalated to sabotage, I reluctantly accepted security help-but I never expected Marcus Bennett to see past my carefully constructed strength to the fears I hide beneath. Now, as unknown enemies target not just my business but potentially my daughter, I'm caught between the independence that defined my success and the undeniable comfort of having someone stand beside me. Is letting him in an act of weakness or the greatest strength I've yet to discover? With my expansion plans in jeopardy and my family's safety at risk, the wrong choice could cost me everything I've fought to build-my restaurant, my daughter's security, and this unexpected chance at love I never saw coming. Marcus Protection isn't just my profession-it's how I've survived since losing my wife. I've guarded clients without allowing anyone past my professional boundaries, finding purpose in ensuring others' safety while keeping my own emotions locked down. Then Tiana Moore and her precocious daughter slipped past defenses I thought impenetrable. I was hired to assess security risks, not fall for a fiercely independent chef and the little girl who sees me as a hero. Every instinct warns me that crossing this line threatens the walls I've built around my heart. But as threats escalate from vandalism to gunfire, I face an impossible choice between professional distance and the family I never thought I'd have again. Can I protect them without exposing my greatest vulnerability? Or will stepping back to preserve my own security leave them-and me-ultimately alone? ""The Single Mom's Bodyguard"": When protection becomes more than physical security, and family transcends blood ties. In the midst of danger, sometimes the greatest act of bravery is opening your heart to possibilities you never planned for.
