      by testsuphomeAdmin Chapter 10: Rhys BRIDGET WANTED TO LEAVE FOR ELDORRA RIGHT AWAY, BUT I FORCED her to get some sleep first. We’d had a long day, and while I operated fine on minimal shuteye, Bridget got…cranky. She insisted she didn’t, but she did. I would know. I was often the one on the receiving end of her crankiness. Besides, there wasn’t much we could do about the situation at eleven at night. While she slept or tried to sleep, I packed the necessities, booked a plane using her usual charter company’s…

      by testsuphomeAdmin Chapter 9: Bridget realized something had shifted the night of her graduation. Whether it was the bond forged through shared vulnerability or the moment Rhys trusted her enough to reveal part of his painful past, the animosity that once defined their relationship had morphed into something more complicated. It wasn’t a simple crush; it felt deeper, tangled with curiosity and a kind of fascination that gnawed at the edges of her resolve. Busy days and endless social events filled her time in New York,…
    • Chapter 8: Bridget/Rhys Cover
      by testsuphomeAdmin Chapter 8: Bridget/Rhys started with chaos that neither of them could have predicted. One moment, Bridget had been standing, and the next, she was flattened against the grass, shielded by Rhys’s solid body as gunfire shattered the peaceful night.

Rhys’s calm orders to run and hide steadied her trembling limbs enough to move, even though the entire world seemed to blur. From the moment she saw…

      by testsuphomeAdmin Chapter 6: Bridget TRIAL MONTH ONE “You’re joking.” I pulled the black vest out of the package, letting it dangle from my fingers like a dirty piece of laundry. Rhys sipped his coffee and didn’t look up from his newspaper. “I don’t joke about safety.” “This is a bulletproof vest.” “I’m aware. I bought it.” Inhale. Exhale. “Mr. Larsen, please explain why I need a bulletproof vest. Where am I supposed to wear it, class? My next volunteer shift?” “To protect you against bullets,…

      Chapter 5: Rhys

      Chapter 5: Rhys Cover
      by testsuphomeAdmin Chapter 5: Rhys was a phrase that looped in my mind as rage simmered through my veins. Bridget had once assured me she would be fine, but that misplaced confidence had nearly gotten her killed, dragging me into a night I wouldn’t forget anytime soon. I'd warned her about the shady concert venue, a collapsing warehouse that screamed danger, yet she defied every word of caution and snuck out without backup. That decision led to her kidnapping, along with Ava, by a mercenary whose loyalty was bought by…
    • Chapter 4: Rhys/Bridget Cover
      by testsuphomeAdmin Chapter 4: Rhys/Bridget started off in the frostbitten atmosphere of Athenberg, where even the cold couldn't compare to the tension simmering between Bridget and me. Four days ago, our journey began with glares and icy silence, neither of us willing to offer a truce. I didn’t need her approval to perform my duty, but that didn't stop the chill from seeping deeper than my leather jacket could block. I maintained a close watch as we entered Eldorra’s National Cemetery, a place so still it felt like the…
    • Chapter 3: Bridget Cover
      by testsuphomeAdmin Chapter 3: Bridget reminded me just how complicated it could be living with a bodyguard around the clock. Sharing space with Rhys wasn’t like it had been with Booth; everything with Rhys was heightened, tense, and oddly intimate in a way that unsettled me more than I liked admitting. Our small house suddenly felt even smaller, with Rhys’s constant presence looming in the corners of every room. He was always there, whether brewing coffee in the kitchen, emerging fully clothed after a shower, or…

      by testsuphomeAdmin Chapter 2: Rhys PRINCESS BRIDGET VON ASCHEBERG OF ELDORRA WOULD BE THE DEATHof me. If not literal death, then the death of my patience and sanity.Of that, I was certain, and we’d only been working together for two weeks. I’d never had a client who infuriated me as much as she did.Sure, she was beautiful (not a good thing when you were in my position) and charming (to everyone except me), but she was also a royal pain in my ass. When I said “right,” she went left; when I said “leave,” she…
    • Chapter 1: Bridget Cover
      by testsuphomeAdmin Chapter 1: Bridget “SPANK ME! MASTER, SPANK ME!” I stifled a laugh at my bodyguard Booth’s face as Leather the parrot squawked in his cage. The parrot’s name said all you needed to know about its previous owner’s sex life, and while some found him amusing, Booth did not. He hated birds. He said they reminded him of giant flying rats. “One day, he and Leather are going to get into it.” Emma, the director of Wags & Whiskers, clucked her tongue. “Poor Booth.” I held back another laugh…
