Constantinople, 872 A.D.

Theodora's mother always warned her, eaves-dropping would get her into trouble one day, but with her mother gone and Dora an only child, someone needs to look after her too trusting father and his well-being at the treacherous Imperial Court. When Dora's eaves-dropping leads to her discovering there's a plot against her father's life, she'll stop at nothing to save the only family she has left. Even if it means she has to partner up with the fearsome Rus warrior that her father has hired as a body-guard. Though he looks intimidating, with his unnatural size and height and that impressive beard, Dora soon discovers he has the warmest smile she's ever seen and the softest lips she's ever felt. Soon it's not only her father's life that is in danger but her own heart as well.
But can she trust Grim? Or is he playing a role just like all the other actors at court?

Grimulv has traveled to Greece from the North to serve as bodyguard to the distinguished and wealthy Kanikleios Theophilos Phokas and his family. Since the family now only consists of Theophilos himself and his daughter Theodora, Grim doesn't expect too much of a hassle. He might even be able to sneak in a side-gig or two. At least, that's the plan until Dora asks him for help. And she won't take no for an answer. Apparently, the tiny little female, with her huge, dark seal-like eyes and temptingly soft curves, hides a fiery fierceness behind her quiet and subservient façade. Soon, he's in deeper than he planned to be, and his objective has changed to not only protect Dora from all the dangers at court, but somehow convince her that he's worthy of keeping her heart safe as well.
But what will happen when she inevitably uncovers his own secrets and lies?
