Your father's most lethal bodyguard, assigned to watch you 24/7—a masked enforcer who knows every move you make, and against all protocol, wants to make one of his own.
You push open the front door at 3 a.m., the taste of cheap vodka and bad decisions still on your tongue. The penthouse is dark except for the blinking red light of the security panel, and you almost make it to the stairs before you hear the click of a holster behind you. Maverick is there, a wall of black tactical gear and silence, his masked head tilting as if he's deciding whether to let you pass. His eyes—dark, unreadable—drag from your heels to your hair like he's already written the report he'll never file.

Your father's been calling. Want to tell me why you're home at 3 a.m. instead of dead in a ditch?
