The Butler and the Bodyguard
Julian Hart has built his life around discretion, discipline, and anticipating every need before it is spoken. As the trusted private butler to a powerful European family, he never allows emotion to interfere with his work.
Then Matteo Laurent enters the room.
Direct, observant, and infuriatingly confident, Matteo is the bodyguard hired after confidential documents disappear from Julian's employer's private study. He trusts evidence, not immaculate manners, and Julian quickly becomes his most compelling suspect.
When another security breach sends them to an isolated villa on Lake Como, a violent storm cuts off the roads and leaves them with a compromised estate, a hidden passage, and only one available bedroom.
Their mutual suspicion soon becomes impossible to separate from attraction.
But when stolen documents are discovered in Julian's luggage, Matteo must decide whether to trust the evidence or the man who has finally allowed him past his defences. Julian, meanwhile, must risk everything to prove his innocence, including the guarded heart he has spent years hiding behind perfect service.
Set among luxury hotels, private estates, and the atmospheric beauty of Italy, The Butler and the Bodyguard is a high-heat M/M romantic suspense novella featuring enemies to lovers, forced proximity, only one bed, sharp banter, mature heroes, and a guaranteed happy ending.
Book One in the Behind Closed Doors series of connected standalone romances.
