Let Them See

<p><strong><em>Arianna</em></strong></p><p></p><p>My life is controlled. </p><p>What I eat what I wear who I talk to. None of it is my choice. </p><p>I hate my life but if I don't conform I know what they'll do. I don't care if they hurt me again. Not really. But when they threaten the people I love they know I'll toe the line and fix my perfect mask back in place. </p><p>No one sees the real me. I can't let them in because they might get hurt too. </p><p>Then he shows up. Cole. </p><p>I hate him. </p><p>He hates me. </p><p>But when we're alone and I let my mask slip can I really trust that he will be there to keep me safe or am I destined to spend my future trapped in a life I hate?</p><p>He told me to let them see who I really am. </p><p>But am I really enough for Cole?</p><p></p><p><strong><em>Cole</em></strong></p><p></p><p>She's a princess. </p><p>I love my job but right now the security detail I'm working is pushing all my buttons. </p><p>Raised by a mum who left us in the pursuit of a better more affluent life it's no wonder that the spoiled daddy's girl drives me crazy. </p><p>Miss Byron.</p><p>She might be sexy as hell but I loathe being around her. </p><p>Only the more I watch the more I realise I might have got her all wrong. </p><p>And with a little support and encouragement I get to see a side of her no one else ever does. </p><p>The problem is the more I get to know Ari the harder I fall.</p><p>And then she's promised to another and there's a chance I might lose her for good. </p><p>Except her father doesn't know who he's messing with and Ari fails to realise one thing-she's mine and I will use every tool in my arsenal to protect what's mine.</p><p></p>
