The Billionaire’s Second Chance

Ten years ago, I left Sophie Vale behind to protect her from the danger I couldn’t outrun.
Now she’s in my house. Sleeping down the hall. Smiling like she doesn’t still own me.
But this isn’t some second-chance fantasy.
I’m a widowed single dad. Ex-SEAL turned security CEO. Emotionally locked down.
And she’s here because someone is threatening my little girl.
Sophie’s the only one I trust to keep her safe. But having her this close?
It’s tearing me apart.
The way she laughs. The way she looks at me like I’m still her hero.
But she doesn’t know what I’ve done to survive.
Or how far I’ll go to protect what’s mine.
I lost her once.
If this danger touches her again—I won’t just break the rules. I’ll become the monster I swore I’d never be.
Because loving her isn’t safe.
But losing her again would destroy me.
