His new assistant is too young, too green, and completely off-limits — so why can't he stop looking?

Description

They say you only regret the risks you don’t take...Landing the role of assistant to Roman King, billionaire CEO of the King Group, feels like a lifeline after losing my supposedly “stable” job—until my new boss coldly informs me that I’m too inexperienced and should never have been hired.I may be younger than his previous assistants, but life’s thrown me enough curveballs to handle anything—including him.Except working so closely with Roman—powerful, controlled, and carrying the weight of a tarnished legacy—soon sparks an undeniable attraction.And it seems I’m not the only one feeling it.But Roman is on the verge of a deal that could redefine both his and the King Group’s future. The last thing he needs is a scandal.Especially one that mirrors past sins.With so much on the line for both of us, maintaining our professional boundaries should be the only option. Yet every heated glance, lingering touch, and charged encounter tempts us to take risks we know we shouldn’t.I just hope neither of us will be left with regrets...Guarded King is a full-length, spicy, slow burn, billionaire boss/assistant romance with mutual yearning, a dirty-talking hero, and a guaranteed happily ever after! It's the third and final book in the Empty Kingdom billionaire romance series, but can be read as a standalone.
