The Boss's Bodyguard

A forbidden bodyguard dark mafia romance — obsessive protector, forced proximity, age gap

By: Helena von Heilig, Scarlett Cross

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

He has one rule about the don's daughter: don't want her. He's already failing.

Nikolai Voss doesn't make mistakes. Twelve years of military discipline and five more running personal protection for the Marchetti crime family have made sure of that. He doesn't get attached. He doesn't get distracted. He doesn't look twice at women he can't have.

Then Serena Marchetti witnesses a murder she was never supposed to see—and he's ordered to contain her.

She isn't frightened. That's the problem.

Serena has spent her entire life being managed, sheltered, and handled by men who think they know best. She has no intention of making it easy for one more. What she has instead is a plan, a secret, and an encrypted device she took off a dead man. No one knows she has it.

The threat was supposed to come from outside the family. It didn't. The case is closing too fast, the evidence is too clean, and someone with a desk inside AEGIS's own building gave a shooter access to a secured level.

The enemy has a desk inside the firm. And the man standing between Serena and everyone who wants her dead is the one man who was never supposed to want her at all.

Leibwächter des Bosses is the first book in the SCHATTEN & STAHL series—six interconnected dark mafia romances set in the shadowed world of European organized crime. Each book ends in HEA. The conspiracy runs deeper than any one of them knows.
