It was supposed to be just one night.
   No names. No strings. No second thoughts.
   But fate doesn’t play by the rules.

   When billionaire CEO Alexander Blackwood survives a brutal kidnapping attempt, the last man he expects to see again is the stranger who once left him breathless in the dark. The stranger whose touch he still craves.
   Only this time, that man isn’t walking away.
He’s his bodyguard.

   Ethan Pierce lives by discipline, control, and strict professionalism. Taking a job during his leave was supposed to be easy money, until he discovers his client is the man who’s haunted his thoughts for weeks. The most dangerously beautiful man he’s ever laid eyes on.
   Now, with danger closing in, passion simmering beneath the surface, and rules threatening to shatter, Alex and Ethan are forced into a deadly game of protection and desire.
   Will they fight the pull between them, or surrender to the one thing that could destroy them both?
    Forbidden attraction. Relentless danger. A love neither of them planned for.
