Ava Bennett looks nothing like a bodyguard—until she rips a tree out of the ground with her bare hands. Hired to protect Julian Hawthorne, the brilliant heir who shut himself away after a devastating accident left him in a wheelchair, Ava crashes into his dark world with unstoppable strength, brutal honesty, and zero respect for billionaire rules. She drags him back into the sunlight, stands between him and a ruthless family power struggle, and slowly becomes the one person he cannot push away. As enemies target Julian’s inheritance and Ava’s reputation, the unlikely pair fight back together. What begins as a paycheck turns into trust, healing, and a love strong enough to give them both a second chance.
