CATERINA by Claire Kirby
My father gave my bodyguard one order: Keep me alive.
Simple.
Then Adrian Donato moved into my life.
My office. My home.
My shadow. My prison.
He is ex-military.
Cold.
Controlled.
Dangerous in a way that doesn’t need threats.
And he watches me like protection is only half the reason he never looks away.
I’m Caterina Conti.
Daughter of a mafia don.
A woman raised to understand power, danger, and the cost of both.
I should hate having Adrian at my side.
I should resent every order.
Every locked door.
Every possessive glance when another man gets too close.
But threats against my family are turning deadly.
And the colder Adrian becomes, the more I realize he may be the only thing standing between me and the people coming for us.
He says he would kill to keep me safe.
The terrifying part?
I believe him.
The worst part?
I want him anyway.
Now betrayal is everywhere.
Enemies are closing in.
And the man sworn to protect me has become the one thing I can’t resist.
There’s just one complication.
I’m carrying my bodyguard’s baby.
