Seraphine Vale, the silver-haired and violet-eyed daughter of the powerful CEO of Breathless, has no interest in inheriting her father’s empire. Instead, she dreams of becoming a detective. Brilliant, analytical, and emotionally distant, she runs her own small agency and secretly solves dangerous cases far beyond what a high school student should face.
When threats begin to surround her, her father hires Lucien Arkwright as her bodyguard. Calm, disciplined, and frustratingly unreadable, Lucien transfers into her school to protect her. Seraphine believes he is only there to spy on her, and she keeps her distance.
But as they solve murder cases, uncover hidden truths, and face growing danger together, their partnership slowly deepens. For the first time in her life, Seraphine begins to open up, make friends, and question the walls around her heart.
When Lucien is suddenly framed for a crime he did not commit, Seraphine must prove his innocence—while confronting feelings she never expected to have.
In a world of secrets, deception, and blood-stained truths, some mysteries are far more dangerous than murder.
