About Secret Guardian: Royal Scheme

When the lethal sovereign of the underground Shadow Temple tries to leave his bloodstained past behind in New York City, a desperate corporate heiress offers him the ultimate shield: posing as her fake lover to stop a forced marriage. Ella Ross, the brilliant CEO of the Ross Group, is drowning in cutthroat boardroom betrayals and relentless family pressure to wed a ruthless rival heir. To regain control of her destiny, she hires Ryan Thorne as her personal bodyguard and contractual boyfriend, unaware that her quiet new protector commands the deadliest shadows in the world. What begins as a convenient contract rapidly ignites into dangerous, undeniable passion. As corporate sabotage turns lethal and rival syndicates close in on Ella, Ryan is forced to dismantle every threat from the shadows while shielding her fragile heart. But secrets cannot stay buried forever in high society. When Ryan’s terrifying true identity surfaces, Ella must decide whether she has fallen for her savior or the world’s most dangerous phantom. Caught in a web of royalty, deception, and corporate warfare, will their forbidden romance survive the ultimate battle for supreme power?
