Dr. Nara James has spent her entire life in control-of her work, her future, and her survival. At just twenty-four, she becomes the youngest neurologist and medicinal chemist in the United States and achieves the impossible: discovering a cure for dementia. But groundbreaking success comes with a dangerous price. As powerful forces close in, determined to claim-or silence-her, Nara is assigned a personal bodyguard she neither wants nor trusts.
Tyriq Withers knows what it means to live without protection. After a childhood shaped by abuse and instability, he's built his life around being the shield he never had. Now a newly appointed Special Agent, his most high-risk assignment yet is guarding a woman who challenges him at every turn-brilliant, stubborn, and impossible to get along with.
They clash instantly. She sees him as control she refuses to surrender. He sees her as a risk she refuses to take seriously.
What begins as protection turns into proximity. Proximity turns into tension. And tension, slowly, dangerously... turns into something neither of them can afford.
Because in a world where power is worth killing for, falling in love might be the most dangerous move of all.
