King of Rebuke by Aleia Kane is now live!
I escaped one monster only to find myself under the protection of another--a
towering, brooding giant with eyes that have seen too much darkness and
hands that kill without remorse.
Since escaping my abusive ex-husband, I've carefully rebuilt my life, managing a high-end
fashion store by day and raising my three daughters by night. I've perfected the art of finding
light in darkness, of meeting each challenge with a smile, no matter how forced. But when
Sergio Bianchi sets his sights on me as his future wife, my hard-won independence shatters in
an instant.
Then he walks in. Eli Abbott. Forty-eight to my thirty-six, six-foot-five to my five-foot-two,
scarred by demons I can only imagine, and possessing the social skills of a hibernating bear.
My sunny disposition bounces off his granite exterior like light failing to penetrate darkness.
Now he's assigned as my protector. My personal bodyguard. A walking shadow with cold eyes
and blood-stained hands who radiates danger with every silent step.
The twelve-year age gap between us feels insignificant compared to the chasm in our
personalities. His growled commands clash with my cheerful defiance. His minimalist
responses battle my endless chatter. Yet behind his gruff exterior, I glimpse something
hauntingly familiar--a survivor, like me.
The forced proximity between us becomes unbearable. Not because I fear him, but because I
want him with an intensity that terrifies me. His possessiveness should remind me of my ex,
but instead it makes me feel cherished. Protected. Desired.
With every touch Eli offers comes the promise of danger, obsession, and a protection that
might just bind us together forever.
As Sergio's pursuit turns deadly and secrets between Eli and me threaten what we're building, I
realize I've fallen for a morally gray guardian who would kill without hesitation for those he
considers his. The stakes couldn't be higher--my freedom, my daughters' safety, and a
forbidden love that could either save us or destroy everything I've fought to build.
But in a world where trust is scarce and life is fragile, are we willing to risk it all for a chance at
love?
Some men are worth the risk. Some monsters are worth embracing. And sometimes, the line
between the two blurs beyond recognition.
