Two people, once strangers, are now entangled in each other's lives, whether they like it or not. Blaire Monroe thought leaving her abusive ex behind meant safety. A new apartment with doors that locked at night. But some pasts don't stay buried. When Dustin begins showing up again-angrier, more desperate, and more dangerous- Blaire realizes distance isn't enough to escape him. Ripley "Rip" Knox lives by one rule: keep your head down and your life quiet. A boxer with a past he refuses to revisit, Rip prefers solitude, discipline, and silence. So when the shy woman across the hall disrupts his routine, he wants nothing to do with her-or the trouble that seems to follow her home. Until he sees the fear and bruises she tries to hide. Helping Blaire is a line Rip never meant to cross. Teaching her how to defend herself is supposed to be simple. Controlled. Temporary. As long as he doesn't get attached, no one gets hurt. But when old threats resurface, and secrets begin to unravel, Blaire and Rip find themselves pulled into a dangerous game neither of them saw coming. With fear closing in and trust on the line, they must decide how much they're willing to risk-for safety, for truth, and for each other. Because sometimes the most dangerous fight isn't in the ring, it's the one you're afraid to walk away from.

Evelyn Hart loses her corporate job overnight when her company is acquired-and her department erased like it never existed. With rent due, savings shrinking, and LA swallowing her whole, she applies to a too-perfect listing in the middle of the night: Estate Caretaker - live-in. Discretion required. Excellent compensation. She gets the contract in thirty seconds. No interview. No company name. She signs anyway. A plane ticket arrives minutes later.

The house has men in it. Three of them. All dead. And all of them want her.
