Everything I am is built on discipline, distance, and rules carved in stone. Woman never last. Family always disappoints. It’s why I focus on the one thing I can that never fails... my private security company.

​

That is… until she storms onto my jet. All attitude, secrets, and eyes that hide more pain than she’ll ever admit. But I’m not fooled. I see her. The pain she buries behind sarcasm and stubbornness. I recognize it because that same ache lives in me.

​

One kiss unravels me. I run, pretending I’m still in control, but deep down I know the truth—that kiss rewrote my entire future. 

​

But when I stumble upon a secret that affects her life, rage consumes me. Protecting her feels less like a choice and more like destiny. The truth—Ingrid Lennox is mine. Heaven help anyone foolish enough to get in my way. 

​

Now I have an uphill battle to convince her I’m worth the fall. Good thing I’ve never backed down from a challenge.
