To him, Carlisle is just a mission. His unwavering dedication to just doing his job is the one thing that keeps the CEO safe and the one thing that drives him absolutely insane.
But when a series of "accidental" close encounters and late-night vulnerabilities begin to crack the bodyguard’s armor, the line between duty and desire starts to blur. For the CEO, this is more than a crush it’s a death sentence. If his family finds a single crack in his composure, they’ll destroy him. In a world where one wrong move means losing everything.
