He's supposed to protect her-not want her.
She's off-limits. He knows it.
But that doesn't stop him from watching.
Pop superstar Sloane Carter lives her life under a spotlight-until a string of terrifying threats forces her into lockdown, trading red carpets for security protocols and cameras for a private protection team. Her new reality includes constant surveillance, a locked-down recording studio... and a new lead bodyguard who's more gruff, growly, and off-the-charts attractive than any man has a right to be.
Grayson Steele is ex-military, all discipline and quiet control.
The last thing he needs is a high-profile client with a defiant streak and a mouth he can't stop thinking about.
She's too young. Too bold. Too determined to get under his skin.
But the danger around her is real-and getting closer.
And keeping her safe means staying close.
Too
close.
What starts as protection quickly turns into something else. Something hotter. Something neither of them can afford. Because the moment they cross the line, it's not just Sloane's career on the line-it's her life.
And Gray isn't just part of her security detail anymore.
He's the only thing standing between her and the darkness closing in.
