She’s Hollywood royalty. He’s the ghost in the shadows. When their worlds collide, the spotlight could kill them both.

Jules Lowry should be basking on her honeymoon, not hiding from paparazzi—and a stalker—after discovering her fiancé's betrayal. She walked away from the altar, determined to disappear. But when the threats escalate, her powerful family brings in the one man she can’t trust: her former bodyguard.

Rhys can’t stand red carpets. After years spent in the shadows protecting lives, he prefers personal protection assignments to celebrity drama. Still, when the Lowrys call, he answers. With a photographic memory and a relentless edge, he’s the best in the business… even if it means faking a relationship with the woman who can shatter his control.

Bound by a dangerous lie and tucked away in a small town, Rhys and Jules ignite a chemistry that’s all too real. But as the enemy closes in and buried truths unravel, they must decide: is their romance just an act or the fight of their lives?
