The last time I saw Ava, I asked her to marry me. Now, her husband is hiring me to protect her.

I never expected to be back on this island running my own private security firm.

Seeing Ava again is inevitable. Being hired by her wealthy husband to keep her safe is a job I can’t afford to turn down.

Every day near Ava and her son makes me dream of a different life where she was always mine.

But I know the rules: protect the client, keep your head on a swivel, and don’t let your guard down. Getting involved would risk everything: her safety, my business, my heart.

I swore to myself I would never be reckless again when it came to Ava.

Too bad she’s the only woman I’ve ever loved.
