Kieran Hale is the Capitol's youngest advisor-sharp-tongued, overworked, and prone to slipping when pressure builds. His new bodyguard, Commander Dorian Vale, is the opposite: stone-faced, controlled, and so intimidating that senators avoid eye contact.
But behind closed doors, Dorian becomes something no one would believe: gentle, patient, and devastatingly soft with the chaotic regressor curled into his lap. The more Kieran hides under desks, sneaks into his bed at night, or clings to his uniform, the harder it becomes for Dorian to pretend his care is "professional."
Between political crises, regression mishaps, accidental vulnerability, and a slow-burning connection neither expected, their world becomes one built on trust, tenderness, and secrets meant only for them.
