My father told him to protect my virginity, not take it.

As an underworld princess, daughter to the boss bosses, my life was a gilded cage. A prison of gold and silk, with nothing for me to do but wait. Wait until the day my marriage contract is agreed and i'm sold to whichever Underboss's son could meet my father's price.

I'd accepted my fate, resigned to the life of comfortable captivity high in my father's ivory tower.

That is until he stepped through the door of my room.

Luke, my new bodyguard, A soldier from the back streets who'd risen up from the ranks. He's tall and arrogant, with roguish good looks that could turn a girls head and a smirk that tells me he's not afraid of anything. Not even my father.

He's like no man I've ever met. A devilish rogue with a wild side that could make a girl want things she knows she shouldn't.

I know it's dangerous, we're entirely off-limits to each other but I just can't fight my attraction to my wild reckless protector.

But I have to try. If my father finds out, he'll kill us both.
