Trapped with My Bodyguard

Updated Apr 7, 2026 • ~2 min read

H2: Her tech company just exposed three billion dollars in Russian mob money laundering. Now the man who killed her parents is sending hit men. Her security advisor hires the best: a former Navy SEAL who follows her everywhere and does not take no for an answer. She hates being watched. He doesn’t care.

💬 Summary:
Nadia Volkov built a billion-dollar company from nothing — in witness protection, under a fake name, after watching a mob boss murder her parents at sixteen. She survived by keeping everyone at arm’s length. It worked, until Viktor Antonov found her again.

The bodyguard Marcus assigns is Riot — six-foot-four, scarred, ex-Navy SEAL, completely unmovable. Nadia hates him on sight. He views her as a client. They last about a week before their mutual fury turns into something neither of them planned for in a Montana safe house with nowhere to go and no one watching.

They agree: no feelings. He breaks the rule first. She admits it out loud to his unconscious body when he’s burning with fever from a bullet he took for her. He makes her say it again when he wakes up.

Viktor is still out there. And Nadia has been surviving since she was sixteen — which means when he gives her a 24-hour ultimatum, she doesn’t wait to be saved. She walks into his warehouse wearing a wire, gets his confession on tape, and faces the man who defined her entire life.

He finds the wire. Riot arrives.

After: a rooftop wedding with six guests. A company that doubled. A nursery painted exactly the right shade of green on the third try. The bodyguard who fell first, and the CEO who finally stopped running.
