She’s the face of a scandal everyone remembers.
Vanessa Barone is hiding from the spotlight. After her modeling career went up in flames, she’s been holed up in her sister’s Portland, Oregon apartment, hoping to restart her life away from flashing cameras and judgmental headlines. But when an impulsive kiss catapults her back into the public eye, the shadows she''s been running from start closing in. Unwanted gifts. Unsettling messages. The unmistakable feeling of someone watching. But the last thing she wants is a bodyguard. Especially one like him.
He’s the ex-con with a past he can’t shake.
Jordan Thompson spent the last seven years paying for his sins. Prison taught him silence, control, and how to keep his demons on a tight leash. Now he just wants a life under the radar—until Vanessa crashes into his world in a whirlwind of expensive clothing and chaos. She’s everything he shouldn’t want. Everything he doesn’t deserve.
But boundaries blur when her safety becomes his responsibility. And, with someone watching her every move, redemption might cost them both everything.
