When billionaire tycoon Philip Caldwell dies unexpectedly, his greedy and power-hungry family gathers to claim their piece of his vast fortune. But imagine their shock when his will is read, revealing that everything—his estate, his companies, his billions—has been left to his young caregiver, 23-year-old Astrid Bennett.  

With her newly found unimaginable wealth Astrid becomes the target of Philip’s vengeful family, who will stop at nothing to take back what they believe is rightfully theirs. With no allies and danger lurking in the shadows, Astrid’s only hope lies in Cole Donovan, her mysterious and fiercely protective bodyguard.  

Haunted by his own troubled past, Cole has sworn to keep Astrid safe, no matter the cost. But as the threats grow and duty gives way to desire, Astrid must decide if she can trust the one man willing to risk everything for her—or if her inheritance will cost her life.

"Go check the security footage," I snapped. "In fact, I want to see it myself." My voice rose, my frustration boiling over. "I know he was here tonight. I am not insane."

Cole exhaled slowly, like he was trying to keep his patience in check. "I'm not saying that. I'm just saying you should get some sleep."

My vision blurred with rage. Sleep? Was he serious?

"Fuck off and go get me every single surveillance footage from tonight," I snapped. "I'm telling you I saw my supposedly dead ex-boyfriend, and you're telling me to get some sleep? How the hell am I supposed to sleep?"

Cole stiffened. His jaw locked, but he didn't argue.

I took a step forward, my blood boiling.

"I wasn't making a request," I half-yelled, my patience snapping. "That was a fucking order. Since you won't listen to soft Astrid, maybe the insane one should have a go at it."
