She doesn't want a bodyguard.

He doesn't want to want her.

Together they must fight for their lives.

Successful IT executive Emily Valente has no time for her estranged politician mother - so she is not happy when a threat to her mother leaves her with two bodyguards on the biggest night of her career. Especially when one of those bodyguards is a tall, sexy, distraction.

For Elite SWAT bodyguard Griffin Walters it was just a standard job - except for his unwanted attraction to the smart and stubborn woman he's assigned to protect. But then the impossible happens, and suddenly Griff is fighting not only to save Emily's life, but also his own.

With no idea who they can trust, Griff and Emily must work together to survive the night. Sparks fly and passion runs hot - but are they willing to break their own rules to risk a future together?

Or will the last person they expect betray them before they ever get that chance?
