She survived the unthinkable.
Now she’s protected by a man she should never want.

After surviving a brutal kidnapping, Alana Ashby is doing everything she can to get her old life back. Control her schedule. Control her brand. Control her emotions. But when her overprotective father hires a bodyguard to shadow her every move, Alana’s carefully stitched world begins to unravel.

Hunter is the last man she should trust. Tattoos, rough hands, and a mouth that feels like a dare. His job is to keep her safe, but his presence sparks a different kind of danger. A kind that tempts her to risk everything.

The more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to remember the lines they’re not supposed to cross. And when the truth finally breaks the surface, it could destroy them both.

A slow-burn, tension-soaked romance that simmers behind closed doors, but will still leave you gasping for air.

Perfect for fans of dangerous men, emotional slow burns, and heroines who wear their trauma like armour.
