Some secrets protect. Others destroy. Zariyah Hart is a former operative turned high-profile bodyguard, fiercely skilled and emotionally untouchable until her latest assignment lands her face-to-face with Weston Cole, the man she walked away from years ago without a trace. Now a reclusive A-list actor with a dangerous past, Weston is being targeted by someone who knows far too much... and Zariyah may be the only person who can keep him alive. But the closer she gets to uncovering the threat, the harder it is to resist the pull of the past—the stolen kisses, the shared scars, the betrayal that nearly broke them both. As the danger escalates and secrets unravel, Zariyah must guard her heart or risk everything for a second chance at the love she thought she’d lost forever. In a world of shadows, passion burns the brightest—and the truth could cost them everything.
