He was hired to keep her alive.
He might be the reason she finally tells the truth.
Elise Barrett is an investigative journalist who knows how power hides: behind charities, luxury towers, and polished men who call exploitation revitalization. When her latest story exposes the city's new order economy, she gets a message that changes everything:
You're looking at symptoms, not the buyer.
Then someone sends her a photo of herself leaving the newsroom-taken that same night.
Anton Sidorov is the last man Elise wants watching her back. Scarred, silent, and built like violence in a tailored suit, he's a former hitman turned elite protector with too many rules and too many secrets. He doesn't care if Elise likes him. He cares if she survives long enough to publish.
Forced into safehouses, surveillance routes, and one-too-close nights, Elise and Anton are trapped between a billionaire empire that launders blood through philanthropy... and the men who make people disappear when reporters get too close.
Anton says he's there to protect her body, not her choices.
Elise refuses to surrender her byline.
But the deeper they dig, the clearer it gets: this isn't just a story. It's a system. And the men behind it already have a plan for how Elise's death will look in tomorrow's news.
Now Elise has to decide who she trusts with the truth.
And Anton has to choose between the job he was hired to do... and the woman he'd burn the city down to keep.
My Broken Bodyguard is a high-stakes mafia-adjacent romantic suspense featuring a scarred hitman bodyguard, an investigative journalist heroine, forced proximity, one-bed tension, touch-her-and-die intensity, and a fiercely emotional, closed-door romance where choosing each other is the most dangerous move of all.
