Dr. Reed Walker has spent his life saving people. Five years ago, he saved a wounded stranger bleeding to death in an alley—and then watched him disappear without a word.

Reed never expected to see Sebastian Clarke again.

Sebastian is no ordinary man. He is a feared mafia enforcer, a killer bound by loyalty to one of the most dangerous crime families in the city. And now he has returned with a terrifying truth: the people he works for have decided Reed is a liability—and they want him dead.

But Sebastian refuses to kill the man who once saved his life.

Instead, he offers Reed an impossible bargain: marry him and enter the dangerous world of the mafia, or become the target of an assassin who won't hesitate to finish the job.

Forced into a marriage built on fear and necessity, Reed is determined to keep his distance from the ruthless man who has destroyed the life he knew. Sebastian, meanwhile, is determined to protect the doctor at any cost—even if protecting him means defying the family that made him their most trusted enforcer.

But living under the same roof changes everything.

As danger closes in, the line between a fake marriage and genuine love begins to disappear. Reed discovers the man beneath Sebastian's violent reputation, while Sebastian finds himself falling for the one person who sees him as more than a weapon.

When betrayal threatens to destroy them both, they must decide what they're willing to sacrifice for love.

He saved Sebastian's life once.

Now Sebastian will risk everything to save his.

Protected by the Enforcer is a steamy M/M mafia romance featuring a ruthless protector, a compassionate doctor, forced marriage, enemies-to-lovers tension, dangerous family secrets, high-stakes suspense, possessive devotion, and a satisfying happily-ever-after.
