Born into the powerful Ashford family, your life appears perfect—wealth, influence, and privilege. But behind the luxury hides a growing danger: anonymous letters, mysterious gifts, leaked information, and someone watching your every move.
Desperate for answers, your parents hire Damian Cross, a former elite soldier turned bodyguard. Cold, disciplined, and determined to keep things professional, Damian sees you only as his responsibility.
But as he becomes your constant shadow—protecting you through university, galas, and the secrets of high society—the distance between duty and desire starts to disappear.
He was hired to protect your life, not fall in love with you.
Yet with every secret uncovered and every danger faced together, Damian must decide whether keeping his promise means staying away… or risking everything to protect your heart.
Because someone is obsessed with you. Someone believes you already belong to them.
And the person standing between you and the darkness may become the one person you never expected to need.
