It isn’t the first time her life has been in some kind of danger, but when your best friend practically begs you to humor her, what’s a girl to do? How bad could it be? When Connor Valesteri is told he is going to be heading the security detail for his boss’s sister’s best friend, he takes it as the ultimate compliment, until he meets her.

As Connor starts to see through Jess’s tough exterior, her dangerous combination of brains and beauty might be too much to resist. For Jess, having a gorgeous, respectful second shadow might not be so bad. A man that actually sees her, and leaves her feeling defenseless and empowered at the same time. When threats and attacks come from every direction, tension runs high. Jess and Connor must figure out how to navigate attempts on their lives, betrayals, and each other before they reach a breaking point that forces tough decisions to be made before moving forward.
