Under His Protection by Odessa Hywell

Bound by blood.

Once destined to take over his father’s empire, Sebastian committed the ultimate betrayal when he testified against him and left everything behind—including his little brother, Nicolo.

Now living under a new identity, Sebastian has built a life far removed from the violence that nearly destroyed him. But when Nicolo suddenly reappears, that life is threatened—not by old enemies, but by his own twisted desires.


Separated by years of betrayal.

Shielded from the darkest parts of his father’s world, Nicolo was a boy when his brother vanished, and though life without Sebastian was hard, he adapted. Survived.
Now, cut off from the Family, he finds safety with the unlikeliest person. But Sebastian isn’t the big brother he remembers, and sparks feelings in Nicolo he knows he shouldn’t have.


Under the ever-watchful eyes of the US Marshals tasked with keeping them safe, Sebastian and Nicolo cross lines brothers never should. When given the chance to live a life together as more than brothers, will they take it?
