As the President’s daughter, 20 something year-old (y|n) has always lived a life of privilege, surrounded by security and high walls. But when an unexpected threat emerges against her life, a Night Agent—code name Nightshade also known as Peter Sutherland is assigned to protect her. He's been trained for years to handle danger, but nothing could prepare him for the complex emotional tension that arises when he is tasked with guarding someone so young, so vulnerable, yet so strong-willed.

Nightshade is in his late 30s, hardened by years of service, a man who has learned to suppress his emotions in the face of violence. But as he spends more time with her, he starts to see beyond the role of the job. She’s not just the President’s daughter—she’s a determined young woman fighting to understand her place in a world she’s always been shielded from. Despite their age gap and her insistence on taking matters into her own hands, the connection between them grows undeniable.

As the threats against her escalate, so do the personal risks, testing the boundaries between duty and desire. Will Nightshade be able to protect her without compromising his mission—or his heart?
