Yield Point: A Marriage of Convenience, Bodyguard Romance

Rate this book
TO KEEP THE GENIUS ALIVE, THE MONSTER MUST MARRY HER.Saskia Vane is a master of masking. Behind her "sunshine" smiles and hyper-focused forensic brilliance is a mind that decodes the patterns everyone else misses. But her latest discovery—a ledger that could dismantle a criminal empire—has turned her from a genius into a liability. Now, the only thing standing between Saskia and a shallow grave is the man who looks like he’d dig it for her.

Ramsey “Rook” Vanguard is a man of silence and tactical violence. The 6’5” fixer is a collection of scars and staccato orders, with a voice like crushed gravel and a soul he traded away years ago. He doesn’t do "protection detail." He does erasure. But when the woman who sees everything looks at him, he finds a variable he can’t calculate.

The solution is a legal loophole. The price is a vow.

To shield Saskia from a subpoena that would sign her death warrant, Ramsey gives her the only thing he has his name. He locks her away in "The Spire"—a brutalist lighthouse perched on a jagged rock off the Washington coast. It’s a construction site, a fortress, and now, their marital home.

Inside the lighthouse, the air is thick with more than just sea salt and the roar of the Pacific. As a lethal storm rolls in, the masks begin to slip. Saskia begins to read Ramsey’s micro-expressions like data points, and the touch-starved protector finds himself doing the one thing he promised he never caring.

Ramsey is prepared to burn the world to keep her safe. But in the claustrophobic heat of their forced proximity, the greatest danger isn't the assassins outside—it's the forensic intimacy of a man who wants to own every chaotic inch of her mind.

Yield Point is a high-stakes, spicy romantic suspense
