Synopsis
Ares Kostanidis. Arrogant. Billionaire. Protector. A man who knows that the young woman he’s sworn to guard is forbidden—but rules don’t apply to him.
I never wanted a guardian because I didn’t believe I needed protection—until secrets from my past revealed that my entire life was a lie.
He was obliged to become the guardian of a ballerina. She had to obey the arrogant man. From the first time he saw her, he wanted her, but he knew he had to stay away. She was drawn to the Greek man but believed he was out of her league.
Unlike his brothers, Ares Kostanidis, the second eldest of the billionaire Greek clan, prefers fast motorcycles to luxury cars. Beautiful, sexy, and unconventional, he is known for his dark sense of humor, cynicism, and combative spirit.
He lives a life without forging emotional ties other than with his family, until fate forces him to become responsible for a young woman who is alone in the world.
Serenity Clementine Blanchet is an orphan who lost both parents at a young age. Sent to a boarding school in Germany, she dedicated herself compulsively to ballet, dance becoming her comfort zone.
She doesn't like change and loves routine, so when her guardian tells her that she will now be under the command of a Greek businessman, she feels insecure.
Ares is fascinated by the goddess with huge blue eyes, who seems fragile, but he resists giving in to desire.
One event, however, changes everything, bringing Serenity closer to him, and the tycoon will have to go from legal guardian to protector.
This forced proximity turns the attraction into an intense passion, and soon the two will embark on a journey of uncontrollable desire.But in this game of seduction, money, and power, nothing is as it seems, and to stay with the woman he loves, Ares will have to uncover her past, defending her from deadly enemies.

Excerpt
"Sir, did you hire a new dancer?" Elmer asks, walking into my office at SIN without knocking, which, given his formal manner, is very unusual.
"New dancer?" I ask, confused.
I'm not the one who interviews them personally. I have a whole team to do it. They go through several screenings. The only time I was involved in hiring an employee was when I needed one who was bilingual, to ensnare Rey Cardona de la Vega and convince him to sell his companies to us.
"From your surprise, I guess not. May I speak openly, Mr. Kostanidis?"
"What is wrong?"
"Your sister-in-law arrived . . . actually, your two sisters-in-law, Mrs. Madison and Cecily Kostanidis, saying there was a special performance tonight with a new dancer. I apologize in advance for what I'm about to say, sir, but I think they're . . . um . . . up to something? I think it's the only expression that fits in this case," he says, as if the words scratch his throat.
I get up and walk to the door. "Where are they?"
"In the audience."
"Did my brothers come too?"
"No, sir, but I already took the liberty of calling them both to let them know that their wives are here."
"Fuck!"
"Sir . . . did I do wrong?"
"No, Elmer. Everything is fine. The ‘fuck’ is because I think you're right. They must really be up to something."
I'm already in the hallway when, suddenly, a suspicion enters my mind as I remember how Serenity and I said goodbye to each other, and also the fact that she has been avoiding me like the plague.
No, she wouldn't dare do shit like this to piss me off, just to prove the point that she's not a kid.
"Take me to that dancer."
"Um . . . It's a little late for that, sir. She's already on stage."
"Where are Madison and Cici?"
"Come with me. I will show you."
It doesn't take me long to see Cici's red hair among the spectators, but as I approach the two of them, my attention is captured by the “new dancer.”
Even though she's wearing a mask that covers half her face, I'd recognize those doll eyes anywhere. I know I should get her off the stage immediately, but my arrival coincides with the exact moment she turns and sees me.
It's as if she was waiting for me, and now she looks at me as if it’s only the two of us in the room.
Serenity dressed in a tiny black leather bikini on stage at my nightclub is like my dirtiest fantasy come true. An angel entering hell and tempting sinners.
As much as I want to snatch her away, I'm mesmerized by the sway of her hips.
Her body is more delicate than any of my employees’, but I’ve never been tempted by any of them. The girl who teases me just by breathing, however, makes me hard like a teenager discovering sex.
"Ares." I hear Madison's voice calling me, sounding amused, but even so, I don't look away from the woman who’s managed to entangle me in her web without even being aware of it.
"You two are going to pay me for this," I say, bending down so only they can hear. "Zeus and Dionysus are coming."
I don't give them time to respond; I head straight for the backstage with Elmer on my tail.
"Have the music discreetly stopped and turn off the stage lights," I tell him. "And don't follow me."
What seems like a lifetime later, I arrive backstage. "Everyone, out."
I don't need to speak a second time before my employees disappear.
I open the curtains, and although the melody is slowly fading away, the stage is in darkness.
I see Serenity's ass barely covered by her tiny bikini, and my self-control goes to hell. I walk over to where she is, throw her over my shoulder and start walking to my office.
Neither of us speaks along the way, and it's a good thing that's the case. She tries to kick me, but I slap her ass, holding both legs together.
I enter my office and close the door with one foot. I place her on her feet, open a security panel, and turn off the cameras that are recording us. They don't have sound, but they have a motion sensor, and as soon as someone enters my office, they are activated.
"I don’t do private dances," she says with audacity as I lock the door and approach her.
I don't think twice before untying her mask behind her head. I want to remain indifferent, but I've suppressed my hunger for her for too long.
"What the hell were you trying to prove?"
"That I'm not a child anymore," she says, lifting her chin.
I look at her, starting from her feet in high-heeled shoes up to her dance-toned thighs and the small pieces of leather covering her body.
When my gaze finally reaches her neck, I notice her skin is flushed, and the blush is spreading across her face.
"I know you're not a girl, but now it's time for you to understand once and for all that I'm a man, not a boy."
There is not an ounce of gentleness when I pick her up and sit her on my desk. She doesn't have time to breathe before my mouth slams into hers, tongue demanding, forcing her to surrender.
Lust spirals out of control and attacks me in waves of overwhelming desire.
She responds to the kiss with a dedication that only makes my lust worse.
I feel her hard nipples against my chest, and reaching behind her back, I unclasp her bikini bra. I'm almost lying on top of her, my mouth running over her lips, chin, jaw, biting into the warm flesh of her neck.
I move down and suck on an erect nipple. She moans my name and wraps her thighs around my waist.
I lick her abdomen at the same time as I undo the ties on the sides of her leather panties. "You're shaking, Serenity. I'm dying to taste you, but you can ask me to stop right now."
She shakes her head. "I want everything, Ares."
I don't think she knows what she's asking me for, and I don't even intend to fuck her here in SIN. I'm not that insensitive, and I know that a woman's first time should leave an impression.
I continue the trail of wet kisses down her abdomen and pull her to the edge of the table in order to position her as I want.
When our bodies touch, I can almost feel her heart beating fast.
