Wrapped in Me

She makes Christmas perfect for everyone else. This year, I’m making damn sure she survives it.


I’m Reid Lawson.

Hawkeye operative. Protector. Dominant.

And I don’t do Christmas.

Then Natalie Keene runs straight into my arms at a Denver holiday party, terrified, bruised—and being chased by her ex-boyfriend dressed as Santa.

I promise he’ll never touch her again.

It should be a simple job.

It isn’t.

Natalie is an event designer who spends December creating Christmas magic for everyone but herself. She’s smart, stubborn, fiercely independent, and absolutely unwilling to let fear—or me—take control of her life.

Then I find a hidden camera pointed at her bed.

Suddenly taking her home isn’t safe.

So I take her to mine.

My house has security systems, reinforced locks, and exactly zero Christmas decorations. Natalie arrives with work deadlines, boxes of ribbon, greenery, ornaments, and enough holiday chaos to invade every carefully controlled corner of my life.

Including me.

Protecting her is instinct.

Wanting her is dangerous.

Because Natalie has spent too long with a man who confused control with love. I need her to understand the difference between having her choices taken away…and choosing to surrender them.

To me.

Her ex is still out there. The threat is escalating. And somewhere between Christmas lights, whispered commands, and nights with her wrapped around me, the assignment becomes something far more dangerous than protecting a client.

I’m falling for her.

I promised Natalie she would be safe with me.

But when the danger is finally over, I’m no longer sure I can do the one thing I was never trained for.

Let her go.
