Christmas at the White House looks like a perfect dream from the outside-bright lights lining the gates, a towering tree in the East Room, and a family portrait full of smiles. But for America Washington, the president's youngest daughter, it's just another reminder that her life isn't really hers. Every move she makes, every word she says, is rehearsed for the cameras. Enter Blue Bennett, the new Secret Service trainee assigned to shadow her while she's home from college for the holidays. He's quiet, professional, and annoyingly unbothered by her attitude-exactly the kind of man she can't stand. Where she's restless and sharp-tongued, he's dry and steady, answering her sarcasm with calm warnings and clipped yes-ma'ams. At first, they clash at every turn. But as a snowstorm traps the First Family in the White House, proximity melts the walls they've both built. Beneath the arguments and side-glances, America starts to see pieces of him no one else does-a past that taught him to hide, a heart that still remembers how to care. And Blue begins to realize the girl he's sworn to protect might be the only person who's ever really seen him. What starts as duty turns into something dangerous-something neither of them can control once it crosses the line. Because in a world where loyalty means silence and love could cost them everything, wanting each other might be the most reckless secret of all.

Pushing himself from the door Gulian neared her, standing in front of her. "I want you to stop seeing 𝙝𝙞𝙢, that's what I want." Kyomi scoffed as she shook her head. "Why would I stop doing that? Just 'cause you call yourself asking nicely?"

nir·va·na a state of perfect happiness; an ideal or idyllic place. where we see what happens when an emptiness that one thought could never be filled is overflowing. when two lost souls find each other. where a broken record plays a perfect harmony. when after years of searching, you find nirvana.
