When Emery Starr witnesses a brutal crime, her life changes in an instant, and the only thing standing between her and the people hunting her is Jaxon Hale - the intimidating, fiercely protective bodyguard assigned to keep her alive.
At a new college and under a new identity, Emery is supposed to blend in and wait for the justice system to do its job. But pretending to be normal is harder than it sounds when panic attacks haunt her nights, fear follows her everywhere, and the six-foot-five man guarding her starts becoming the only person who makes her feel safe.
***
Jax has one rule: protect Emery at all costs.
Getting emotionally attached was never part of the plan.
But between late-night study sessions, whispered reassurances, campus parties, and the quiet moments where Emery slowly begins to heal, the line between protector and something far more dangerous starts to blur.
Because the people after Emery haven't forgotten about her.
And when the past finally catches up to them, Jax will have to decide how far he's willing to go to save the girl he was never supposed to love.
