The-Dons-Forbidden-Bodyguard

Sienna Valenti, the fiercely independent daughter of a retired mafia boss, finally escapes her father's iron grip to start college. But freedom comes with a shadow: Dante Cross, a cold-eyed former special forces operative, is her new 24/7 bodyguard. She sees him as a prison guard. He sees her as a spoiled liability. Until a car charges through campus. Dante pulls her from the path, gun drawn. The threat is real—and it's only the beginning. As anonymous threats escalate—a cross-tattooed stalker, hacked cameras, a countdown scrawled in lipstick—Sienna is forced to rely on the one man she swore she'd never need. But Dante carries his own ghost: his younger sister Aria was killed five years ago, and he couldn't save her. He won't fail again. Training turns to tension. Protection turns to longing. And when the masked enemy finally reveals himself—someone closer than either of them imagined—Sienna isn't just a target. She's the key to a five-year-old revenge. He was hired to guard her body. He never expected to lose his heart.
