She was promised to someone else.

He promised himself he'd never cross the line.

Madden knows better than to want the coach's daughter - especially when she's engaged to another man, polished and charming, the kind everyone admires. But he also knows when something isn't right. And he sees what she can't: the subtle control, the quiet manipulations, the too tight smile.

So he becomes her safe place. Her anchor. No demands. No expectations. Just quiet, steady devotion.

Selena never expected freedom to feel this gentle... or love to feel this patient. She thought she had to survive alone. She thought desire always came with risk. But with Madden, safety and passion aren't opposites - they're inseparable.

But devotion has a way of becoming something sacred - especially when it's built on trust, not temptation.
