Troy

To get to her, you have to get through him.

Dr. Kennedy Green has always been focused on her work, pushing the boundaries of biophysics to create groundbreaking technology that could change the world. But as word of her recent breakthrough leaks, dangerous figures emerge, eager to claim her knowledge for their own. Immobilized by a freak accident, Kennedy has no choice but to accept the protection of Troy-a hardened bodyguard known for his stellar reputation, sharp aim, and strict rules against becoming involved with clients. Forced to stay at Troy's secluded mountain house, Kennedy races to complete her research under his watchful eye. With a looming deadline and her work still incomplete, Troy proposes a strict care regimen to accelerate healing. However, this comes with conditions that lead to unexpected consequences for both as they walk the razor-thin line between professionalism and passion. Meanwhile, as her enemies close in, Troy must decide: can he keep his promise without compromising her safety, or will they risk everything for a chance at love?
