She lives her life in the spotlight. He thrives in the dark. To her followers, twenty-one-year-old Kensington Collins has it all: wealth, status, a killer spike on the UCLA volleyball court, and a bright future in digital marketing. But behind the perfect aesthetic, Kensington is looking for something real. She finds it in the most unexpected place-and in the most forbidden man. David Deacon Kay is forty-four, dangerous, and completely out of her league. As a seasoned LA SWAT officer, his life is about discipline, strategy, and survival.

Deacon is used to breaking down doors, but breaching Kensington's world might just destroy them both.
