Jackson Mistole is the city's most successful-and most elusive-Black entrepreneur. With power, wealth, and influence, he's got everything... except safety. After receiving a string of dangerous threats, Jackson's protective younger brother decides it's time to bring in help. Not just any help-CLEVER's finest: Zelda.
Zelda is no ordinary bodyguard. Trained, precise, and always five steps ahead, she specializes in blending into high society without anyone suspecting a thing. Her mission? Protect Jackson Mistole and his teenage daughter, Melanie, at all costs.
To make her presence seamless, the Mistole brothers come up with a bold plan: Zelda will pose as Jackson's blind date. One "accidental" meeting turns into a fake relationship... but only to the public. Behind closed doors, she's his guardian. Only the three of them know the truth.
But faking love has consequences.
What starts as a clever cover story slowly morphs into something real. And as months turn into years, the lines between duty and desire blur. From fake girlfriend to fiancé, to wife-Zelda finds herself falling for the man she swore to protect. Now, with enemies still watching and secrets mounting, can she keep Jackson safe without losing herself in the process?
💍 Love was never part of the job... but it just might be the most dangerous mission of all.
