One kiss was all it took to shatter every rule in the book.
When former mob insider Cory McCann testified against the family that once owned him, the U.S. Marshals gave him a new name, a remote mountain cabin, and one unbreakable order: no contact with his past. What they didn’t plan on was Deputy U.S. Marshal Kenny Patton, the stoic, closeted alpha assigned to guard him for fourteen days, becoming the most dangerous temptation Cory has ever faced.
Kenny has spent years hiding who he really is behind the badge. One look at the scared, beautiful witness he’s supposed to protect and every wall starts crumbling. Two weeks alone in a snowed-in cabin. Two men with everything to lose. One spark that turns duty into obsession.
What begins as forbidden comfort explodes into a secret, scorching romance neither can walk away from. But when the protection detail ends and the marshals are ordered to leave, Kenny has to make an impossible choice: follow the rules that have defined his life… or risk everything to stay with the man he now refuses to live without.
Protected by the Marshal is a high-stakes, age-gap, forced-proximity MM romance filled with intense emotion, slow-burn tension, and a hard-won happily ever after. Perfect for readers who love protective alphas, closeted heroes finding themselves, and love that defies every danger.
