Protecting Layla

She’s running from her destiny. He’s ready to risk everything to keep her alive.

Layla has never disobeyed. A sheltered princess of the Gulf, promised into a political marriage... until the day she says no.
Her escape isn’t just rebellion. It’s survival.
But alone in the desert, hunted by those determined to force her back into obedience, she has no choice but to call the French protection agency Alpha 22 Security.

Yanis has never failed. A former soldier of the 21st Marine Infantry Regiment, he’s methodical, cold, built for action.
But from the moment he meets her, he knows this mission won’t be simple.
Layla is brilliant, courageous, dangerously disarming.
And the longer they run, the deeper she gets under his skin.

In the suffocating heat of the desert, between gunfire and charged silences, they cross a line that changes everything.
When he must choose between duty and desire, Yanis will discover that some women don’t want to be saved.
They want to be chosen.

(Each book of this series is a stand-alone romance focused on one couple, with a happy ending and no cliffhanger!)
