❝A date?❞ Lyla asked, her voice faltering before she could control it.
This wasn't supposed to happen.
Michael nodded, almost shyly at first, his gaze dropping for a moment before finding hers again.
❝Is there something wrong with that?❞ he asked softly.
Lyla's stomach tightened. There was something wrong with it. Not to him. To her.

Michael Jackson is used to being watched, protected, and never truly known. Lyla is assigned to his security staff, but nothing about her is what it seems. It starts as a job. Rules. Distance. Control. However, Michael doesn't stay distant, he starts noticing her, trusting her, and relying on her in ways he never planned to, and without realizing it, he's falling for her... hard.
Lyla sees it happening, and it terrifies her, because he doesn't know the truth: she's an undercover bodyguard sent to protect him from a dangerous stalker. She was never supposed to matter to him at all. The closer Michael gets, the harder it becomes for Lyla to keep her secret, or her heart out of it, and she doesn't realize that protecting Michael might also mean trying to protect her own heart.
