Victoria Ashford has everything—wealth, influence, and a foundation that changes lives. Everything except someone to share it with. Five years after a devastating divorce, she's built walls no one can penetrate. Until Marcus Cole becomes the head of her security detail. He's supposed to protect her from external threats, but the real danger is what he makes her feel. In a world where power and vulnerability collide, can two guarded souls risk everything for a love neither of them planned? A sweeping romance of second chances, healing, and the courage it takes to trust again.
