"You know what I am jealous of?"

"Tell me, Sunshine."

"I am jealous of the girl that is allowed to hug you all night. I am jealous  of the girl who is allowed to hold your hand in public without getting strange looks. I am jealous of how you can claim her when she's on it again, and I am jealous of the late night talks. Jealous of the way you will smile at her like she's your whole world because I know, I can't be her. Even though I want to."

Ava Carter, the daughter of the well-known CEO of Carter Industries, is about to become the CEO herself. But rising in the business world also comes with security. And after the death of Ava's mother, her father immediately hired a bodyguard for Ava, which is, of course, supposed to protect her. And even though Ava hates her new bodyguard, she can't help but feel different about him. Like he did something to her, which she can't quite put her finger on. As long as she didn't fall in love, everything would be alright, right?

Christian Johnson, an ex-soldier in the Army and now bodyguard, is assigned to guard one of the richest women in the United States. And he can't help but notice how different she is from all the other clients he had. Yet, even though Christian doesn't like the way she doesn't listen most of the time, he can't help but feel different whenever she is with him. But he can't point out what he exactly feels. As long as it isn't love, right?
