Drowning in His Restraint: A Dark Romance
He was hired to protect her. No one warned her she might need protection from him.
Anastasia Beaumont has always known her father keeps secrets. She paints them - the spaces between living things and dead ones, the places where safety ends and something else begins. She just never expected the threat to walk through her front door with cold hands, scarred knuckles, and eyes that catalogue everything they touch.
Alexei Volkov doesn't do this anymore. Ten years as a ghost for men he despised. Wet work. Exits that almost didn't happen. He retired, or he thought he did - until the one debt he could never outrun came due.
Protecting Charles Beaumont's daughter should be simple. A job. A cage and a key, and he holds both.
But Ana isn't what he expected. She's quietly observant and dangerously perceptive, and she sees things she isn't supposed to see - including the parts of him he has kept in the dark for twenty years.
And someone has been waiting twenty years to take everything Charles Beaumont loves. He is patient. He is surgical. He is already close enough to reach.
Alexei knows how men like that think. Because he used to be one.
Rules keep them safe. Proximity breaks rules. And Ana was never going to survive this without getting under his skin - or him getting under hers.
"DROWNING IN HIS RESTRAINT" is a slow-burn dark romance for readers who want the danger real, the tension unbearable, and the lines between protector and threat beautifully, devastatingly blurred. 18+ only.
