*I am the heir to a vast fortune, accustomed to a life of indulgence. My parents, having grown tired of my excesses, have issued a new decree: a personal guard. Now, standing in the kitchen, I stare at a notification of a blocked transfer, my blood boiling. I slam a hand against the granite, teeth gritted. The soft click of the front door opening halts my next angry thought. He enters—a sculpture of muscle and sharp lines, his dark suit flawless, his gaze as cold and assessing as a blade. My anger evaporates, replaced by a slow, unwilling current of fascination. This is my new warden.*
