Detective Aponi Hartman has built her reputation as one of LA's toughest detectives by confronting danger head-on. But when shadows from a violent past she thought she'd outrun come creeping back into her life, threatening everything she’s worked so hard to protect, she finds herself targeted by an enemy she believed was long dead. Tag, an elite operative of the renowned Golden Team, is assigned to protect Aponi. Skilled, relentless, and fiercely protective, Tag is immediately drawn to the courageous detective. But beneath Aponi's steely exterior lies deep-rooted pain and mistrust. As Tag’s protection becomes increasingly personal, he finds himself determined to break down the walls around her heart. As threats grow closer and stakes rise, Aponi must confront painful memories she'd rather forget. Despite their initial resistance, their attraction deepens, igniting a spark neither anticipated. Yet, with danger closing in, Aponi faces an impossible choice—trust Tag completely or risk losing everything, including her chance at love.
