Claire has spent a year hiding her feelings for Hugh Kane, her father’s business partner. He is a much older and controlled man who is off limits for her; this makes her even more interested in him.
On her nineteenth birthday, everything changes. It was once a quiet obsession, but now it is a consuming desire. Hugh has always stayed away, but now the pull is too much for him, too.

His to Protect synopsis
I've spent a year hiding my shameful crush on Hugh Kane—my father's business partner, a man twice my age who looks at me like I'm something dangerous. He's cold, controlled, and completely off-limits. But on the night of my nineteenth birthday, something inside me awakens. A burning need I can't explain. A pull toward the one man I can never have.
Read His to Protect – Chapter 1
[Claire’s POV]
Even I would fuck myself. I think.
At least, that's the effect I'm going for.
Three days until I turn nineteen, and I'm standing in front of my mirror having a full-blown existential crisis over whether this dress makes me look sophisticated or like I'm playing dress-up in my mother's closet.
Spoiler alert: it's definitely the latter, but I'm committed now.
Worse than that only the fact that my body has apparently decided to stage a full-scale rebellion.
I've been burning up for a week, breaking out in random sweats that have nothing to do with the California heat wave. My skin feels too tight, like I'm wearing a bodysuit two sizes too small, and every fabric seems to irritate me.
Even my favorite silk sheets feel like sandpaper.
But it doesn’t matter now, Hugh's here.
Well, he was here earlier, but I was conveniently out preparing to face him.
Getting my hair done before spending several hours selecting the perfect dress. Reapplying my shadows four times, because the first attempts made me look either like a startled raccoon or a sleepy panda. With no acceptable middle ground.
All this for my father's business partner. A man twice older than me but less handsome because of that. A man who's been the star of my inappropriate daydreams for at least a year now.
I'm aware this makes me a walking cliché. I'm also aware I don't care.
I give myself one last look in the mirror, smooth down the navy dress, and head downstairs. The smell of dinner wafts through the house—Mrs. Walker has outdone herself with her famous lobster risotto. Which means Dad's in full host mode.
