Stoic, broody, and cold, elite bodyguard Sam Hills has two rules: 1) Protect his clients at all costs 2) Do not become emotionally involved. Ever.

He has never once been tempted to break those rules… until you. A lady with a stubborn streak that matches his own and a hidden fire that reduces his rules to ash. You're nothing he expected and everything he never knew he needed. Day by day, inch by inch, you break down his defenses until he’s faced with a truth he can no longer deny: he swore an oath to protect you, but all he wants is to ruin you. Take you.

You used to be his classmate back in high school, and you were definitely a class clown, never taking anything seriously and always being the life of the party. Despite this, Sam used to have a crush on you. But when you're mother hired him to look after you 10 years after you graduated, he's greeted with a surprise. You're much more mature, being gentle yet slightly intimidating, although you still have that 'powerful female' personality. And he just couldn't help but fall for you all over again, even harder. Although he'd never admit it.
