Executive protection agent Dustin McQuaid is always in control of himself and is considered the best bodyguard in his agency. But he has one rule: Assignments to guard women are off-limits. When he’s asked to protect the woman he once loved and hoped to marry, he refuses at first, but the large bonus might be just what he needs to launch the app he’s been developing.

When a stalker begins to haunt billionaire heiress Silver St. James, she agrees to have Dustin as her bodyguard, telling herself that she won’t fall for him again—not after he rejected her back in high school. She’s happy running her equestrian therapy ranch, and she has no desire to renew a relationship with the man who broke her heart.

As the stalker closes in, Dustin concocts a plan to keep Silver safe by pretending that they’re honeymooners. But the more time he spends with her, the more out of control he feels as he falls fast and furiously for her again. Can they both let go of the insecurities of the past to embrace a new future together? Or will they push one another away once again?
