A desperate game. A dangerous obsession. Lies, lust, and longing never end quietly.

I've been orbiting the Volkov Clan for as long as I can remember. Not bad for the son of a muscle-for-hire who bounced at the Den and a stripper from the wrong side of town. I've carved out my own path, running elite security for Sigma International. I've protected kings, queens, and A-list celebrities.

But nothing prepared me for this assignment.

It sounded simple enough. Keep an eye on the heiress I've known for years. No big deal, right?

Except she isn't looking for a bodyguard. She's looking for a baby daddy.

And when a woman like her sets the rules and turns up the heat, who am I to say no?

She thinks this is some kind of game. That she can run off, claim it didn't mean anything, and I'll just walk away. But I'm not built like that. I'm not satisfied with silence, and definitely not with lies.

Three months later, I find her. In a baby store. Shopping for our future.

Now that I've found her again, I'm not letting her go. Not now. Maybe not ever.

Okay, hear me out. I've always wanted to be a mom. Like always. But relationships? Yeah, those never seem to work out for me. Is it my overbearing family—full of over-the-top alpha males who can't stop meddling in their daughters', sisters', and cousins' lives?

Maybe.

Or maybe I'm just not willing to risk my heart anymore. Either way, I can hear my biological clock ticking like a damn time bomb.

So I make a decision. I call my uncle's security firm and request a bodyguard. I spin a story. I lie. And I spend one unforgettable night with one of my honorary cousin's insanely hot friends—Remy Falco.

And let me tell you, the man is built like a god, tatted like a sinner, and every inch the star of my dirtiest dreams. The perfect choice for a no-strings sperm donor.

Only problem? I caught feelings. And I know a guy like him isn't sticking around for messy, complicated me.

But this isn't a game anymore. This is my life. And I'm keeping my baby.

Not my family, not Remy, not even the world is going to change that.
