For as long as she can remember, Amaris Knowles has seen him. In crowds. In reflections. In the dark when she feels most alone. He's always there-watching, protecting, disappearing before she can get close. She thought he was a figment of her imagination. A coping mechanism. A sign she was losing her mind. Until one day, someone else speaks to him.
His name is Kai. He's not human. He's a Watcher-a spirit sent to protect her after a near-death experience as a child. He grew with her. Aged with her. Watched every heartbreak, every tear, every moment she never knew she wasn't alone. But he was never supposed to love her. What was meant to be protection slowly turns into something dangerous, something forbidden, something neither of them were prepared for.
Now that his mission is complete, Kai is supposed to let her go. Instead, the closer he gets, the more human he becomes... and the more dangerous loving her turns. Because there's one rule Watchers can never break: never fall in love with the person you were sent to protect. And Kai already has. A love that defies reality. A romance that was never supposed to exist.
