He’s here to protect me. But maybe the only thing I’m in danger of is losing my heart to him…

I never asked for a bodyguard. But after a reality show appearance turned into a nightmare of heartbreak, vicious social media trolling, and now an actual blackmail threat, my overprotective big brother’s decided I need 24/7 protection.

And he’s complicated it by choosing his best friend from his army days, billionaire security company CEO Theo Thorner: six foot four of muscle and military discipline. I had a thumping crush on him when I was a teenager, but it turns out I still find him insanely sexy now. He’s seriously hot, try as he might to come across as cold and detached. He may give nothing away, but when we’re suddenly thrown together in a remote countryside cottage, I can see Theo’s actually hiding a world of pain.

I’ve had to be strong my whole life, and so has he. But Theo Thorner makes me feel weak in all the best ways…I know he will always keep me safe, but with things heating up between us, will our demons tear us apart, or can we both dare to heal each other’s hearts and surrender ourselves to happiness?

Surrender is the second novel in the Thorner Brothers series—a billionaire romance with genuine emotional depth that takes readers from grief and heartbreak to healing and hope, perfect for fans of T L Swan and Rosa Lucas.
