Publisher Description
I’m Elijah Rhodes top-tier Guardian Security agent. We protect the world’s power
players: heads of state, royalty, A-listers. The elite.
I didn’t grow up with much, and nothing came easy. My time in Special Ops hardened
me, gave me purpose, and left me with a black heart. I took the missions no one else
would. Still do.
My rules are simple:
No long-term assignments.
No repeats.
No attachments.
Keep it professional. Keep it distant.
It’s how I’ve survived. Until her.
Dr. Danielle Sinclair is brilliant, beautiful, off-limits. I protected her, then did what I
always do. I walked away.
Now, a year later, tragedy strikes. Dani’s life is in danger, and every instinct in me
demands I break my own rules to keep her safe.
Some lines shouldn’t be crossed.
Some rules were made to be broken.
I’ll protect Dani with my life, but I can’t give her a heart I don’t have.

DEFENDING LOVE is a steamy, high-stakes, standalone romantic suspense with
bodyguard vibes, second chances, and all the feels—set in the same world as
the Sinclair Duet.
