the forbidden billionaire
(the ashford legacy book 3)

Someone is watching me. And my bodyguard refuses to let me out of his sight.

I never wanted a bodyguard.

Especially not Luke Grayson.

He’s six-foot-four of muscle, scowls, and bossy instructions. A former military sniper and one of my brother’s oldest friends, he’s been hired to follow me everywhere I go.

Apparently, I’m supposed to be grateful.

Instead, I spend my time trying to lose him.

Unfortunately, Luke is very good at his job.

The more time we spend together, the more I realise there’s more to him than the grumpy, overprotective bodyguard who refuses to leave me alone. Beneath the scars and the stern expression is a man carrying secrets of his own.

A man who makes me feel safe in a way I never expected.

Then I discover the truth.

Someone has been watching me.

Someone who knows where I live.

Someone who isn’t going to stop.

When Luke whisks me away to a luxury island resort, I tell myself it’s only temporary. A chance to lie low until the danger passes.

A chance to enjoy a brief fling with the one man I can never have.

But as the threats grow darker and our feelings become impossible to ignore, one thing becomes terrifyingly clear.

The greatest danger may not be the person stalking me.

It may be losing my heart to the one man sworn to protect it.

The Forbidden Billionaire is a steamy standalone billionaire bodyguard romance featuring a grumpy hero, sunshine heroine, brother’s best friend, forced proximity, romantic suspense, a luxury island escape, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
