Hired to keep him alive. Failing to keep him at a distance.
Jesse Drake doesn't do soft.
She reads threats, not people. She trusts data, not feelings. And she's never once needed anyone to understand her.
Until Sebastian Cross.
Billionaire. Playboy reputation he's never bothered to correct. Client.
When someone tries to kill him in his own bed, Jesse takes the case the only way she knows how—completely. She moves him, locks down his life, interrogates his executive team without blinking. What she doesn't plan for is a man who sees straight through her bluntness to the person underneath it, and likes what he finds.
But someone inside Sebastian's world wants him dead, and the closer Jesse gets to the truth, the closer she gets to him. She's spent her whole life being the most dangerous person in the room.
She's never had to protect her own heart before.
Under Her Protection is a romantic suspense featuring a high-chemistry role-reversal romance, a protective heroine, a stubborn billionaire hero, and the found-family warmth Blackwell Tactical Security fans have come to expect—all wrapped in danger, wit, and a chemistry that refuses to be a slow-burn.
