Nikki Swann is the biggest star in the country. From uploading songs on her MacBook to winning Album of the Year, her rise has been nothing short of legendary. With an anointed voice, undeniable beauty, and the world at her feet, she's won Grammys, BET and MTV Awards-and now she's nominated for an Oscar for her commanding role in Cleopatra. Her father is her manager, her sister runs her business, and her five-year-old son is her greatest motivation. From the outside, it seems Nikki has it all.
Cesar Reyes is a retired CIA agent and elite bodyguard. A former gang member who transformed his life, he spent years protecting the world's most powerful entertainers and political figures. But after the tragic murder of rising rapper JAYO, Cesar walked away from it all. Now he lives quietly in L.A., with more money than he could ever need-and no interest in going back.
But everything changes when Nikki becomes the target of a mysterious stalker. Harassing phone calls, anonymous gifts, and a terrifying break-in make one thing clear: someone is watching her. And they're getting closer.
Her father turns to the only man he trusts to keep her safe: Cesar Reyes. At first, Nikki and Cesar clash-two strong personalities, both used to control. But beneath the tension is something neither expected: connection.
As the danger escalates, secrets unravel, and trust is tested, Nikki and Cesar will face the truth:
Who is stalking Nikki?
What do they want?
And most of all...
Will Cesar be able to protect her in time?
