King of Rebuke by
Aleia Kane is now live!
I escaped one
monster only to find myself under the protection of another--a towering,
brooding giant with eyes that have seen too much darkness and hands that kill
without remorse.
Since escaping my
abusive ex-husband, I've carefully rebuilt my life, managing a high-end fashion
store by day and raising my three daughters by night. I've perfected the art of
finding light in darkness, of meeting each challenge with a smile, no matter
how forced. But when Sergio Bianchi sets his sights on me as his future wife,
my hard-won independence shatters in an instant.
Then he walks in.
Eli Abbott. Forty-eight to my thirty-six, six-foot-five to my five-foot-two,
scarred by demons I can only imagine, and possessing the social skills of a
hibernating bear. My sunny disposition bounces off his granite exterior like
light failing to penetrate darkness.
Now he's assigned
as my protector. My personal bodyguard. A walking shadow with cold eyes and
blood-stained hands who radiates danger with every silent step.
The twelve-year
age gap between us feels insignificant compared to the chasm in our
personalities. His growled commands clash with my cheerful defiance. His
minimalist responses battle my endless chatter. Yet behind his gruff exterior,
I glimpse something hauntingly familiar--a survivor, like me.
The forced
proximity between us becomes unbearable. Not because I fear him, but because I
want him with an intensity that terrifies me. His possessiveness should remind
me of my ex, but instead it makes me feel cherished. Protected. Desired.
With every touch
Eli offers comes the promise of danger, obsession, and a protection that might
just bind us together forever.
As Sergio's
pursuit turns deadly and secrets between Eli and me threaten what we're
building, I realize I've fallen for a morally gray guardian who would kill
without hesitation for those he considers his. The stakes couldn't be
higher--my freedom, my daughters' safety, and a forbidden love that could
either save us or destroy everything I've fought to build.
But in a world
where trust is scarce and life is fragile, are we willing to risk it all for a
chance at love?
Some men are
worth the risk. Some monsters are worth embracing. And sometimes, the line
between the two blurs beyond recognition.
