A CEO and her bodyguard take on a dangerous mission while navigating their surfacing feelings for one another.

Laina Milenna is one of New York's most powerful CEOs, helming the global company her family built over generations. Showing up prepared and professional everyday comes with a price and after a case of exhaustion lands her in the hospital, she is forced to accept that the break she's needed since her parents passed away is overdue. Off to the Maldives it is.

As her long-serving executive protection officer, Everett Park, is about to say goodbye to her, Laina's foundations are rocked. Everett has requested a change of assignment. Does she secretly have a crush on him? Yes. Is he entirely off-limits? Also, yes.

When her past turns up to haunt her, ripping away cherished beliefs about the world she knows and catapulting her down a treacherous path, Everett is the only one she can turn to. What he proposes next sends them on a daring mission fraught with danger and desire, testing the limits of trust.
