I had always been known for my tough exterior and often found myself in trouble for standing up for what I believed in. After I retired from the NFL, I looked for a new challenge and found it at GDB Security firm. Expecting to protect the rich and famous, that didn’t happen. My first assignment was to guard Erana Bonds. . Erana was an up-and-coming social media influencer with a large following and a bright future. She had no idea that her life was in extreme danger from other sources than first thought. My instincts as a protector kicked in, and I made it my mission to keep her out of harm’s way. That determination to protect her from the threats that loomed, ruffled a lot of feathers. As I got to know Erana, I discovered that she was more than just a social media influencer. She was a strong, independent woman and we shared a lot in common. But little did I know, this assignment would not only change Erana’s life but also have a profound impact on my own.
