Auralia is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu instructor at her late father’s failing dojo. She’s one payment away from losing everything her father built, where her childhood memories live. 

So, when the chairman of Ezra Holdings wife, Maria Ezra, comes to Auralia with a proposal of being her son’s bodyguard, Auralia cannot help but agree to the proposal. In exchange for protecting her son, Alexander Ezra, for one year Auralia will not only get a six figure salary but she’ll also get the title deed to the dojo’s building, allowing her to save the dojo.

There is one problem however. Alexander can’t know that Auralia is his bodyguard. Thus Auralia has to marry the man, acting as his wife while secretly protecting him.

An arranged marriage is not something she wants and her husband-to-be makes matters worse when he hands her a contract with terms to which she has to follow in exchange for marrying him.

Will she be able to navigate the world of the rich as Alexander’s fake wife without the man discovering the real reason behind her marrying him? And can she keep any feelings from developing between the two?

Only time will tell…

The Bodyguard Wife

Maria took two gold rings from a nearby servant holding them for her before turning back to the couple. She placed the bigger ring in Auralia's hand before giving Alexander his ring.

The rings were a simple design, neither Auralia nor Alexander too keen on bling or anything over the top. Maria was a bit annoyed by this, but compromised with the rings being completely gold with their initials engraved into it.

Auralia gazed at the simple ring in her hand, it making everything all too real. She was getting engaged. She was going to get married, not for love like she once hoped, but because of a contract.

A part of her wondered how her parents would feel about this seeing as they always wanted her to marry for love. She wasn't sure why this suddenly dawned on her. Perhaps the whole marriage thing hadn't felt real enough.

A distance thing compared to everything else that was going on in her life.
