Greedy Hearts: A Bodyguard Romance

Cassian Alastair prices everything. People, favors, loyalty, silence. It's kept him useful to the family and personally untouchable for years.

Then someone runs an embezzlement scheme through his vault, and suddenly Cassian is the one being moved around like an asset. Relocated to a remote mountain safehouse, one bag packed, one bodyguard assigned. Elias Kane: quiet, principled, the kind of man who treats integrity like a fixed cost rather than a variable.

The friction starts immediately. Cassian reads every situation as a transaction. Elias doesn't negotiate, doesn't flatter, doesn't want anything Cassian has to offer. Outside, snow presses against the windows and the mountain road stays empty for days. Inside, there's nowhere to go and no performance worth maintaining.

Weeks of close quarters do things that danger alone doesn't. Late-night conversations that start as necessity and stretch longer than either man plans. Small gestures Cassian notices more than he should. The attraction doesn't announce itself, it accumulates, the way debt does, quietly and then all at once.

The embezzlement threat is still out there. Real, closing in, unresolved. But the thing Cassian can't strategize around is the man across the room who sees exactly what he is and hasn't looked away.

Elias offers something Cassian doesn't have a column for: protection with no invoice attached.

A man who's spent his life counting everything eventually has to ask what he's been missing.

Can Cassian learn to value what he can't quantify?
