Wicked Sanctuary
Guarded by the Ghost

He’s a lethal ghost of a man assigned to protect her. She’s an heiress with dangerous secrets. When danger threatens, their forbidden attraction could cost them everything.
Charlotte “Charlie” Devereux may be a billionaire’s daughter, but she’s fighting a battle her father doesn’t even know exists. After publicly exposing corporate corruption, her whistleblowing activities have painted a target on her back. The last thing she needs is a brooding, scarred bodyguard watching her every move—especially when he works for her father.
Kieran “Grim” O’Rourke is a man with a deadly reputation. The elite security specialist from Wicked Sanctuary has protected presidents and eliminated threats across the globe. His latest assignment? Keeping the rebellious heiress in line for one year. What should be a simple protection detail becomes complicated when:
• The threats against Charlie prove deadlier than anyone expected
• Her investigation points to a conspiracy reaching the highest levels
• The chemistry between them burns hotter than either can resist
As Charlie uncovers a web of corporate crimes and environmental destruction, someone is willing to kill to keep her silent. When an attempt on her life forces them into hiding, the close quarters make it impossible to deny their forbidden attraction.
“I’m supposed to protect you, not want you,” Grim growls against her skin. “But I’m breaking every rule I ever made.”
But Kieran is hiding secrets of his own. When Charlie discovers the truth about her new protector, she’ll have to decide if she can trust the man who’s captured her heart—or if some ghosts are too dangerous to love.
