THE READ SERIES
To the world, he is Zachary Reed: tech titan, billionaire, the man whose smile can sway markets and whose anger can shatter careers. But to Elara Vance, he is simply the mark—her final, lucrative contract before she disappears forever.
Haunted by a past she can never outrun, Elara is the best at what she does: an invisible shield, a human weapon, a ghost who protects the world’s most powerful. She expects a spoiled prince. What she finds is a man with a face that belongs in museums and a mind that could end wars—a man of devastating intellect, surprising tenderness, and a quiet, breathtaking beauty that makes her breath catch when he walks into a room. His gaze feels less like an inspection and more like a homecoming.
The rules are simple: keep him alive, don’t get attached, cash the check. But when an assassination attempt reveals a chilling connection to the tragedy that destroyed her old life, every rule shatters. Forced into 24/7 proximity in his glittering penthouse prison, their professional disdain ignites into a white-hot obsession that threatens to consume them both.
As a cunning enemy closes in, using her deepest fears as a blueprint for attack, Elara discovers a terrifying truth: she wasn’t hired to protect Zach. She was meticulously chosen to be the instrument of his downfall.
Now, to save the man she was paid to guard, she must confront the ghost she swore to bury. And Zach must decide if the empire he built is worth more than the woman who holds his heart—and his destruction—in her hands.
