Protected By the Billionaire Ex-SEAL by Ava Nichols

I had one intoxicating night with a chiseled bad boy… then found out he’s my new off-limits bodyguard…
Christian Benson: Charming. Ex-Navy SEAL. Billionaire. Playboy.
A flirty bet with him at a bar leads us to a night with uninhibited passion that drives him to work me like I’m his most important mission.
And I’m in ecstasy until I wake up and realize he left in the middle of the night without even a note.
The next day, I’m shocked to learn that he’s my new bodyguard, tasked with protecting me 24/7 from my ex, who’s been stalking me.
Then, Christian goes from warm and charming to cold and distant.
Until some drinks and a game of truth or dare have us diving into forbidden territory.
His touch sends a burning pleasure down my core.
And as we spend time together, I see a caring side to him.
But now, things are complicated — I’m carrying his baby.
Our bond and connection is undeniable.
But this can’t work.
Christian has plans for his security business, and I need to focus on writing my children’s books.
And opening up my heart was not part of this temporary assignment.
Or will Christian realize he wants to be my forever protector?
