Hate never felt so dangerously close to desire.
A mouth-to-mouth rescue meant to save a life is mistaken for something scandalous. With the warrior assigned as bodyguard, every encounter is a battle of wills, smoldering glances, and suppressed desire. What begins as contempt slowly deepens into an irresistible attraction neither can fight, as proximity forces them to see beyond the surface.
Is the line between hate and passion thinner than they dare to admit?
