She’s the one who got away. And now she’s back—nannying my daughter.
Ten years ago, I left Sophie Vale behind to protect her from the danger I couldn’t outrun.
Now she’s in my house. Sleeping down the hall. Smiling like she doesn’t still own me.
But this isn’t some second-chance fantasy.
I’m a widowed single dad. Ex-SEAL turned security CEO. Emotionally locked down.
And she’s here because someone is threatening my little girl.
Sophie’s the only one I trust to keep her safe. But having her this close?
It’s tearing me apart.
The way she laughs. The way she looks at me like I’m still her hero.
But she doesn’t know what I’ve done to survive.
Or how far I’ll go to protect what’s mine.
I lost her once.
If this danger touches her again—I won’t just break the rules. I’ll become the monster I swore I’d never be.
Because loving her isn’t safe.
But losing her again would destroy me.
I swore I'd never mix business with pleasure.
But Dante Sterling doesn't play by the rules.
He's my billionaire boss - CEO of New York's most ruthless venture capital empire. Twenty years older. Emotionally guarded. Dangerously irresistible. Completely off-limits.
Now he's funding my tech startup - and insisting on being my personal mentor.
Long days blur into late nights. Heated debates turn into breathless stares.
He challenges me. Tempts me. Makes me ache in ways I swore I'd never allow.
Until one reckless night, when our power struggle snaps - and I find myself spread across his desk, surrendering to every forbidden craving.
I should have known better.
Just as I start to fall for him, everything unravels.
A betrayal cuts deeper than any deal gone wrong and I could lose everything.
Tech rivals have stolen my software, and could destroy everything I've spent years building - and the trail leads straight back to the man I can't stop wanting.

Book 1 of the Iron Vow Series
She’s my best friend’s little sister. Now she works for me and is in more danger than she realizes.
She’s forbidden. Completely off-limits.
Reese Maddox is everything I shouldn’t want—brilliant, defiant, and eighteen years younger.
But the moment she walks into my office at Thorne Global Security, I can feel our attraction like electricity in the air. Once her brother’s commanding officer, now her protector, I know touching Reese breaks every rule I’ve ever lived by.
But when bullets fly and the ghosts of my past close in, restraint shatters. Passion ignites. And a dangerous truth rises from the ashes—one that ties Reese’s family to the enemy I thought I had buried years ago.
And if I can’t keep her safe…
I’ll lose the only woman I’ve ever let in—
To the same people who nearly destroyed me once before.
