About the book
A kidnapping survivor heiress. A Guardian bodyguard who swore off love. An enemy who isn't finished with her.
Her past haunts her. His heart is locked away. But danger isn't done with either of them.
After surviving a brutal kidnapping, heiress Aria Holbrook wants nothing more than to reclaim her life — but her enemies aren't finished. The only person standing between her and a deadly new threat is Jon Knutt, a hardened Guardian operative determined to keep her safe.
Jon knows betrayal. After the collapse of his longest relationship, he swore off emotional entanglements — protection is a job, nothing more. Until Aria breaks through his defenses with a courage he can't ignore. She's not the pampered heiress he expected. She's a survivor who refuses to be a victim twice.
As danger closes in, Jon and Aria must navigate a web of secrets, power, and deadly ambition. Their only chance at survival is trusting each other — but trusting someone you can't afford to lose might be the biggest risk of all.
He can guard her body. She can breach his heart. Neither of them saw the real threat coming.
