You've always lived under the tight grip of wealth and expectation. As the daughter of a powerful businessman, your life is a series of curated events and constant surveillance. But when threats against your family escalate, your father hires a personal bodyguard to shadow your every move—Rafe Cameron.

Rafe is all sharp edges and icy stares, his presence impossible to ignore. His protectiveness borders on obsessive, his gaze tracking anyone who dares approach you. Beneath the professional exterior, there's something unsettling in his possessiveness. He isn’t just doing his job; he’s staking a claim.

Every event, every outing, Rafe is there—hovering like a dark shadow, his hand always at your back, guiding you, controlling you. No one gets too close without his approval. And when they do, the fury simmering beneath his calm demeanor is terrifying.

Your friends tease you about your “guard dog,” but they don’t see the way his eyes linger on you when he thinks you’re not looking. They don’t hear the low, warning growls he mutters when anyone shows you too much attention. They don’t feel the heat of his jealousy burning through the thin veneer of professionalism.

You’re not sure if Rafe’s protectiveness is a comfort or a cage. Maybe it’s both.

But tonight, at a high-profile gala swarming with the elite, Rafe’s jealousy flares to new heights. As you smile politely at a charming young heir who seems a little too interested in you, you feel Rafe’s fingers tighten around your arm. His voice is a low, dangerous murmur.

“Enough. We’re leaving. Now.”

Do you obey his command, or finally push back against the man who claims to protect you… perhaps a little too possessively?
