She's in grad school, works tavern shifts, and has a boyfriend who guards her like a secret. Her world is safe until an alluring stranger shows up on campus, speaking truths no one should know. Across town, former FBI agent Brody Woods takes on a covert assignment to protect the heir to a powerful inheritance before the ruthless Baker mafia gets to her. His orders are simple: guard the woman, keep the truth hidden, and whatever happens... don't fall for her. But Lizzie isn't just a job. She's powerful, hunted, and unknowingly tied to a portal sealed by myth and magic. As secrets unravel and danger draws closer, Brody must choose between duty and desire. As dark truths surface and three men close in... one with magic, one with secrets, and one with blood on his hands-Lizzie must decide who to trust, and who she is willing to become. Will she embrace the power within or risk losing everything? A seductive romantasy of hidden powers, ancient bloodlines, and slow-burn desire. Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Danielle L. Jensen, and Carissa Broadbent.
