She never wanted a bodyguard. He never meant to fall for his assignment.

Olivia Harper has spent her life in the shadow of her powerful senator father, fighting for respect in the ruthless world of Washington politics.

The last thing she needs is a brooding ex-Navy SEAL watching her every move — especially one who treats her like just another job.

Ethan Tarlton has one rule: never get emotionally involved with a client. But protecting the senator’s headstrong daughter is testing every boundary he’s sworn to maintain.

Olivia is brilliant, fearless, and completely off-limits.

Too bad his heart didn’t get the memo.

When anonymous threats escalate into deadly attacks, Olivia’s world becomes a dangerous game of cat and mouse.

Someone wants her dead, and they’re willing to destroy everything she cares about to get to her.

As the threats close in, Olivia must rely on the one man she’s tried to push away — the man who’s slowly breaking down every wall she’s built around her heart.

But in a city where trust is a luxury and betrayal comes from those closest to you, falling in love might be the most dangerous protocol of all.

Some rules are meant to be broken. Some loves are worth the risk.
