Lawfully Guarded — eBook
Money can buy security, but it can’t buy trust. When a kidnapping threat targets her family, billionaire heiress Delaney Whitaker is forced into hiding with Trenton Prescott, a no-nonsense bodyguard. From a Bel Air estate to a rugged safe house, they must survive a deadly threat and a marriage of convenience that puts their hearts on the line.
He’s paid to protect her life, not her heart.
Delaney Whitaker is used to getting what she wants, but when her sister is kidnapped, her billionaire father stops taking chances. Enter Trenton Prescott: a former military operative turned private security specialist who is as annoying as he is handsome. Delaney refuses to be treated like a child, but Trenton isn’t asking for permission. He whisks her away from her Bel Air mansion to a remote safe house outside Seattle, stripping away her luxury lifestyle in exchange for her survival.
Trenton has guarded men and children, but protecting the spoiled Whitaker heiress is a new kind of challenge. She pushes his buttons at every turn, yet beneath the designer clothes, he glimpses a woman of surprising depth. As the threat against the Whitaker family escalates, the only way to keep Delaney safe might be to get even closer—by becoming her husband. Trapped in forced proximity with a killer closing in, Trenton and Delaney must navigate a marriage of convenience that feels dangerously real. Can they bridge the gap between their worlds to survive, or will the enemy exploit their only weakness?

Director’s Commentary
This story juxtaposes the luxury of a billionaire's lifestyle with the grit of a security lockdown. The banter between the pampered Delaney and the stoic Trenton drives the early tension, setting up a classic bodyguard dynamic that evolves into a deeper alliance through the marriage of convenience trope.
