Broken Grumpy Protector: A Fake Relationship, Age Gap Romance
She is color and light.
I am shadows and scars.
I’m hired to shield her from danger, not fall for her curves or her contagious laugh—especially when she’s the sunshine my dark world can’t ignore.
I expect bodyguard duty for a celebrity.
Instead, I get her quiet, art-obsessed sister.
Isla Ashford is all softness, while I am steel and rules.
Her painting studio invades my penthouse like a garden blooming through concrete.We fake an engagement and step into a spotlight neither of us wants.
Every touch, every lingering look, shifts the ground beneath my feet.She finds cracks in my armor and paints hope in the places I buried deep.
The city roars outside but inside these four walls, every day with her is a battle against my own restraint.The stalker draws closer.
I’m her shield, but the real danger is the way she uncovers my heart. With our fates tangled tighter than city lights at midnight, only one truth
Pretend is over.
Now, nothing can keep us apart—except the secrets I swore to never let see the light.
