One catastrophic failure cost Griffin Hale everything.
His elite protection career. His confidence. The man he thought he was.
Now he’s stuck on forgettable security jobs in Seattle, drifting through the days and trying not to remember how badly he fell. So when Eamon Price—co-owner of The Guardians—offers him a high-profile assignment protecting the lead vocalist of Violet Frequency, one of the biggest K-pop boybands in the world, Griffin says yes for one reason only: he needs the work.
He doesn’t expect to care.
He definitely doesn’t expect Rune.
Rune is the band’s quiet center—the lyricist with sleepless eyes and a voice that carries millions of hearts. He’s brilliant, guarded, and under relentless pressure to be perfect at all times. Fame has taught him how to hide in plain sight. Griffin, with his careful distance and battered sense of duty, should be just another professional wall.
Instead, Rune sees straight through him.
Their connection builds in stolen moments: late-night hotel balconies, shared earbuds and whispered truths, backstage corridors where masks slip and something real begins to breathe. But Rune’s life exists under a microscope. One leaked photo. One rumor out of control. One mistake—and everything he’s built could go up in flames.
As the world tour intensifies, a threat Griffin thought he left behind resurfaces in Seattle, and suddenly the band isn’t just famous—they’re a target. Protecting Rune means confronting the failure that broke him. Loving him means believing he’s still worthy of something more than survival.
And this time, walking away isn’t an option.
Genre: Romantic Suspense
