The Silent Protector: A Gripping Billionaire Secret Agent Romance
He bought her to protect her. She sees him as the monster who owns her soul.
Clara Ali is trapped. A prisoner in her own home, she has spent her life as a servant to a cruel stepfamily, her spirit slowly being crushed into dust. When they arrange a marriage that promises a fate worse than death, she has nowhere left to turn. She doesn't know that a silent protector has been watching her from the shadows for years.
Ethan Cross lives a triple life built on secrets and forged in violence. To the world, he is a respected billionaire philanthropist. To his country, he is Viper, a deadly government agent. And in the criminal underworld, he is Nyx, a ghost feared by all. But his most guarded secret is Clara-the innocent woman who is his only obsession, his only light in a dark and brutal world.
To save her, he makes a deal that will bind her to him forever. He forces her family's hand and makes her his wife.
He thinks he's offering her a gilded cage for her own protection. She thinks she's been sold to a ruthless, powerful man.
His protection feels like possession, and his care feels like control. Clara is determined not to be a pawn in another man's game, but she can't deny the confusing pull she feels toward her enigmatic husband.
But Ethan's violent world refuses to let him go. As a brilliant new assassin known only as the "King of Darkness" begins a deadly game of cat and mouse, his carefully constructed lies begin to unravel. The only way to protect Clara from the enemies hunting him is to keep her close, but the closer he gets, the more his secrets threaten to destroy the very woman he swore to protect.
Can a woman who has only known betrayal learn to trust the man who bought her? And can a man forged in darkness convince his wife he is the only one who can lead her into the light?
This is a standalone romantic suspense novel with a guaranteed HEA. Perfect for fans of dark romance, angsty arranged marriage tropes, powerful billionaire secret agents, and the silent, possessive protector who will burn the world down for the woman he loves.
