The betrayal is real.

I never imagined I'd need a bodyguard, but now I'm forced to trust Jack, a man as emotionally scarred as I am. Our connection is undeniable, yet he's supposed to be protecting me, not capturing my heart.

My son, Max, is my world, and his safety is paramount. I've kept him hidden, a secret that could be his only shield against the threats closing in on us. Jack doesn't know the full story, and I fear his judgment—both about my past and his own broken heart.

As danger looms closer, we must navigate our tangled emotions and uncover the truth behind the threats against us. Jack's the only one I can rely on to keep us safe, but can I trust him with more than just my life?

I need to open my heart before it's too late, but surrendering to love could be the riskiest decision of all.
