At Her Word

She built her life by taking control. He has been waiting for a woman worthy of it.

Celeste Marlowe has built a career out of controlling the story. She has no intention of surrendering her life to a threat - or her decisions to the younger bodyguard hired to protect her.

Noah Mercer is calm under pressure, lethal when necessary, and twenty years younger than his newest client. He is also hiding a private truth: the more precisely Celeste tells him what she wants, the more certain he becomes that she is the woman he has been waiting for.

Forced into close quarters before Celeste testifies against a disgraced former client, their professional boundaries begin to fracture. But giving Noah control of her safety is not the same as giving up her agency, and the private power he offers her comes with a responsibility neither of them can afford to misunderstand.

When protection becomes possession, they must decide whether trust can survive one dangerous mistake - and whether twenty years between them matters more than the future they could choose together.

At Her Word is a high-heat reverse-age-gap bodyguard romance featuring a commanding older heroine, a devoted younger hero, consensual female-led intimacy, suspense, and a guaranteed HEA.
