Untamed Protector by Elina Conti

He’s a brooding bodyguard who won’t let any woman distract him. But now he’s sharing a bed with the most stubborn client ever. And she’s testing his limits in every way.

An ex-military turned VIP bodyguard, Gabriel Ross runs the top security business in the port city he now calls home. Disciplined, calculated, and detached, he lives by one rule: love is a luxury he can’t afford.
When a mysterious woman with stunning green eyes crashes his event, he’s determined to keep his guard up. But when he learns about the danger she’s in, he jumps into protector mode, guarding her 24/7. Smart, feisty, and opinionated, Lexi is a handful. And yet, she lit a flame he can’t extinguish.
Lexi Flores came to the port city on a mission: to find the one who ruined her and her father’s lives. She can’t trust anyone—not while trying to expose her employer’s powerful family, who she suspects is behind it.
When threats against her escalate, her boss presses Lexi to accept Gabriel as her bodyguard. Moving in with him wasn’t exactly on her plan, but saying no might blow up her cover. Gabriel is controlling, nosy, and infuriating—but also incredibly hot—and her best shot at safety.
She’s too afraid to trust a stranger with her secret. He’s a loner who sticks to his rules. Neither of them is looking for love, but they can’t hide from their intense desire. They can transform each other’s worlds, but first… he needs to keep her alive.
