Ophelia Bell

I’m the female heir to LA’s underground empire, which makes love a liability. But there are two men I won’t give up … no matter the cost.

The other is my bodyguard, a man who would take a bullet for me, and nearly dies trying to do just that.

For some reason my father’s oldest enemy is after me, and uncovering my family’s dark secrets might be the only way to protect the men I love.
