Guarded (Calavera Hotels #3) by Nix Murguia

Perfect daughter.

Cartel Princess.

Destined to be a trophy wife.

My life was never in my own control.

In a world where loyalty is a currency and love is a rarely obtainable luxury, I was sculpted into the ideal daughter—an untouchable cartel princess, destined to be a trophy wife. But beneath the facade, my life has always been dictated others.

When a series of harrowing events shatter my carefully constructed world, buried trauma resurfaces, and only my new bodyguard, a brooding man with secrets as deep as his scars, sees the real me. His gaze ignites a fierce desire within, pushing me to fight for his praise, but his haunted past looms like a specter over our fragile connection.

Each copy is signed by the author and includes an art print & sticker.

As I stand at the crossroads of duty and desire, I grapple with an impossible choice: marry to secure my family's legacy or risk the heartbreak of falling for the one man who may never be able to love me back.

"Guarded.” is the third installment in the Calavera Hotels series, which delves into the lives of Don Vicente Consuelo's grandchildren. As they inherit the luxuries and privileges that come with their family name, they also face demons that accompany their wealth.
