Sneak Peek from A Dangerous Trust

“You’re telling me this is standard procedure?” I hold up the photo like it’s evidence in court—my shattered window, the white rose sitting pretty on the driver’s seat.

Cole Ryder doesn’t flinch. He stands in my office doorway like he owns the air in here—broad shoulders, calm eyes, too controlled to be real. “Standard procedure is staying alive, Emma.”

“I’m not hiring a babysitter with a gun.”

His mouth barely moves, but I catch the hint of a smirk. “Then don’t. Hire a bodyguard. Babysitters get attached.”

“I don’t need protection.”

“You do.” His gaze drops to the rose in the photo. “That’s not a prank. That’s a promise.”

My phone buzzes again. Unknown Number.

My throat tightens. I hate that my hands shake. I hate that he notices.

Cole steps closer—too close—and lowers his voice like it’s a secret meant only for me. “From now on, you don’t go anywhere alone.”

“I have a life,” I snap.

“And you want to keep it.” His eyes hold mine, steady and unyielding. “You can hate me later. Right now, you listen.”

I swallow. “You’re really going to follow me everywhere?”

“Everywhere.” He pauses, his gaze flicking to my lips for half a second—long enough to ruin my composure. “And if you test me, counselor… you’re going to lose.”

About the Story

Attorney Emma knows how to handle pressure—she lives in courtrooms, deadlines, and high-stakes negotiations. But this time, the threat isn’t legal.

It’s personal.

A shattered window. A white rose placed like a signature. And a message that makes her blood run cold: someone is escalating… and they’re confident they can reach her whenever they want.

Enter Cole Ryder—a professional bodyguard with a calm voice, controlled instincts, and the kind of presence that turns a room quiet. Cole doesn’t do “maybe.” He doesn’t argue with danger. He neutralizes it.

Emma doesn’t want protection. She definitely doesn’t want a shadow with a weapon and a rulebook.
But when the threats sharpen—and someone starts leaking her location—she’s forced into a decision she hates:

Accept Cole’s protection… or become an easy target.

Now she’s trapped in a world of surveillance, secrets, and close calls—where the safest place is a safe house… and the most dangerous thing might be the tension building between her and the man who refuses to leave her side.

Because Cole isn’t just watching the exits.
He’s watching her.
And he’s not as unaffected as he pretends.
