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

The moment his soft lips touched hers, Auralia's brain short circuited. Instinct took over and her hands moved to hold his forearms as his hands moved to her waist, pulling her closer until their chests were touching.

Her mind was filled with him. His scent, the taste of mint and something sweet on her mouth, his touch electrifying her. It was unexpected and she melted as he consumed her.

And too soon it ended with Alexander pulling back, his eyes dark with desire. Auralia remembered to breathe once more, a blush blooming on her face.

"Sorry about that." Alexander murmured into her ear as he pulled her to his side, arm resting around her waist. "Had to make it look real…"

"It's fine. Don't apologize." Auralia huffed back, still a little out of breath.

Part of her was disappointed that the kiss had ended so soon, but she didn't dwell on it. Not when it would make things messy. Instead she turned her attention back to the cheering crowd around her.
