She had zero interest in cleaning up the image of a billionaire playboy. He had no patience for a woman who barely tolerated him. But when secrets collide and danger strikes, one fake marriage becomes a fight for something real.

Lena Medina is a journalist chasing justice, not headlines, and definitely not fake fairy tales with arrogant billionaires. She has one target: a powerful predator hiding behind money and reputation. The last thing she needs is to get tangled up with a nightclub king who thinks charm fixes everything.
Dominic Monti has charm down to an art form, publicly adored, privately closed off. He doesn't do commitment, complications, or women who challenge every word out of his mouth. But the moment Lena storms into his world, she wrecks the rhythm he's spent a lifetime perfecting. And somehow, he can't look away.
She lives for justice. He hides behind glitter. She pushes. He snaps. And when their paths collide during a dangerous investigation, they both get burned.
To silence the tabloids and keep her safe, he proposes a deal: a fake marriage. It gives her protection, gives him cover, and forces them into dangerously close quarters.
They agree to keep things strictly business.
Until the sparks get harder to ignore.
Until the tension starts to feel like something more.
Until the man who doesn't believe in love finds himself willing to do anything to protect the woman who challenges everything he is.
But Lena's past is darker than she's admitted. And the enemies she's hunting are already hunting her back.

One bed. One lie. One deal neither of them meant to feel this much.
He falls first. He falls hard. And when the threats close in, Dominic will have to face the one battle he never trained for: fighting for her heart.

Expect marriage of convenience, forced proximity, no cliffhanger, and a very satisfying HEA. Each book of the Harbor Protectors series can be read as a standalone.
