I'm Salvatore Ricci. Ex-Marine, full-time bodyguard, part-time liar—mostly to myself. I keep my clients safe, my suits sharp, and my emotions locked down tighter than a vault. But there’s one person who makes that… complicated. Sweet, stubborn, completely unaware of the mess she’s got me in. And then there’s him—all designer suits and bad ideas—hovering around her like a peacock at a gunfight. My job’s simple. Protect her. Keep my distance. Pretend I’m not already in too deep.
