And powers of attraction that will break all the rules. Some people call me a billionaire heiress.But I’d rather they call me Ava Larson, founder and CEO of Digital Wave Solutions.I am an entrepreneur focused on solving problems for people. I am proud of the business I built all by myself—without Dad’s money. I make my own decisions.So when my father hired Alex Kipling as my personal bodyguard—without my consent—I was not happy. I don’t think I need a defender.Not only is Alex an Ex-Navy SEAL, he is disturbingly well-built. And he has his own ideas about keeping me safe from the stalker who recently sent threats to me at my company.Sparks flew between us from Day One.As the threats grow more serious, though, I find myself stuck in Alex’s presence more and more.And there is more to him beyond the eagle eyes, stoic attitude and the hard body I find so f**ing attractive in spite of myself.He is smart, caring, and compassionate. And completely at my service.This beautiful man can be gentle, but he knows when to be rough, too.My heart might need a protector, after all. 1 Chapter 1: Self-Made Woman – AvaThe day is finally here. As I walk into the boardroom, I can feel the excitement and nervous energy vibrating in the air. Today is the day of the big meeting—the one where I’ll be presenting a new project to my team. I’ve spent countless hours preparing for this moment, late nights and early mornings, poring over spreadsheets and data, and thinking through every detail of my idea.As I settle into the Herman Miller chair, my thoughts wander toward the personal sacrifices I’ve made—namely, the absence of raw romance and the thrill of a thriving sex—or any sex life, for that matter. I close my eyes, and for a fleeting moment, I visualize the perfect man. My perfect man. One who’d hunger for me. A passionate lover who’d crave my every curve…who’d admire my grit, my drive, and my intellect. His hands would be firm, yet tender; his eyes, a pool of desire, drinking in my success and power. The heat rises in me at the thought, a tantalizing shiver coursing through my veins. But then, with a swift mental shake, I snap back to reality. Time to focus, Ava. Jesus. Fantasies be damned, I have a room full of eager eyes waiting to see the fruits of my labor.I’ve been preparing an app for the past six months with only a select few of my staff. Working with a small team is better while my idea is still in these first stages of creation. I’ve managed to keep it under the radar from the rest of the company. But more importantly, it’s not been leaked to our competitors. With how the market is at the moment, I’d be stupid to expect everything to go smoothly. I’ve had my fair share of struggles recently. I know I’m being watched closely by rival companies. I don’t doubt that they’ll swoop in and steal my idea, taking credit for my hard work. I’ve had to fire people in the past for snooping around. Thankfully, I’m not as naive as I used to be.“Good morning, everyone,” I say as I walk through the room. I notice some shareholders are present, as well as a few people from different departments I asked my PA, Julie, to invite. This is a good sign, as we always need additional funding while things are in the early stages. Even a well-established, successful company needs investors.I’ve faced many challenges in my career. There have been times when I doubted myself and my abilities—moments when I’ve been told that I’ll never succeed without intervention from my parents. People tend to judge me, assuming I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth. They think I’ve had everything easy, and that’s just not true. They fail to realize that it’s only my own hard work and dedication that have gotten me where I am today. I’ve always pushed through, driven by my passion for innovation and my desire to make a positive impact on the world. Like many, I’ve faced challenges as a woman in a male-dominated industry, but I’ve never let that stop me. In fact, it’s only fueled my determination to succeed. I want to prove that anyone, no matter their gender or background, can achieve great things if they work
