He was hired to protect her life. He wasn’t supposed to crave her. After a chilling threat leaves her fearing for her life, elite security specialist Marcus Kane takes the job no one else wants: protecting reclusive artist Elara Vance. His rule is simple: professional distance at all costs. But Elara isn’t the fragile target he expected. She’s all sharp edges and defiant fire, a challenge that ignites a dangerous heat between them. Trapped in a secluded safe house, the line between protector and obsession blurs. Every whispered secret, every guarded touch, fuels a desire that could compromise them both. Marcus’s past is a prison of betrayal, and Elara’s trust is a wall he doesn’t know how to scale. As the danger closes in, they must decide: is the greatest risk the killer outside their door, or the passion burning within? To survive, they’ll have to surrender to each other—body, heart, and soul—before the enemy strikes the final blow.
