Marc: a gallery owner , young millionnaire (through hard work and dedication), three siblings, parents are dead, no friends.
Royce: bodyguard, hard past, silent and broody.
Marc is in need of a bodyguard because it seems one of his siblings is trying to murder him. He ends up at Ward Security and Royce is assigned as his bodyguard. But with an added function, playing boyfriends so nobody knows Marc is protected. But while playing boyfriends they discover their chemistry, their bond and simular feelings. They both lost loved ones, the both feel like outsiders and they are both not letting others in. But in each other they see the same, they match. Marc is willing to try a ‘real’ relationship but Royce is more hesistant. He is scared his past will come back and his love life will once again be destroyed.
His fear comes true. While the two are trying to figure out who is trying to kill Marc, someone from Royce’s past comes back and tries to blackmail Royce. Marc won’t let Royce go and helps him. But what if that’s not enough?
In the previous books we got some snippets of Royce and I honestly couldn’t wait to read his story. Why was he so stand offisch, what happened to him?
We sure get our answers. And not alone that, the pages were bursting with his feelings. Feelings of guilt, of love, of dedication and fear of being broken. Not only from Royce but also from Marc. I was rooting hard for their relationship because from the beginning it was obvious that they fitted. I know it is corny, but they fit together like puzzle pieces. Rough edges, maybe some broken pieces, but together they can build a solid and happy life together. They both can live without each other I’m sure, but together they are stronger.
And how I love how we see our old favorites back. They all play a litte side roll and they gave the story just that little extra.
