Lisa Marquette's life looks untouchable: a respected name, wealth, influence, and a husband who owns the room. But behind the carefully guarded doors of her estate, she's trapped in a marriage that feels colder with every passing year. Until Eric De Luca steps into her world.
Hired as her personal bodyguard, Eric is everything her life isn't-calm, rough-edged, dangerously steady. What begins as silent looks and polite distance soon twists into late-night confessions, forbidden touches, and choices neither of them can take back.
As loyalty blurs into obsession and duty turns into something far more dangerous, Lisa is forced to confront the truth:
Her greatest risk isn't the secret she's keeping from her husband. It's the guarded man she can't stay away from.
And when everything-her marriage, her reputation, her heart-is on the line... which life will she choose?
