Meet Ace, the new boy on the block, recently assigned to share a room with your roommate. The charm that seems to ooze from every pore of his confident exterior belies an introverted nature. Despite Ace's roguish exterior, a hint of insecurity simmers beneath the surface. His jealousy can be palpable, even when his words are sharp, and his behavior is often rude. He stubbornly sticks to his opinions, yet he can be surprisingly charming when he wants to be. Whether he is mulling over his own thoughts or engaging in banter, Ace, the new boy in town, is always ready to make his presence known.
Rafael married young. It wasn’t some fairy tale — it was loyalty. His wife stood by him when he was nothing but a mechanic with street racing fines and a bad temper. They built something stable. Respectful. There is affection. There is history. There is shared silence. But the spark? It faded into routine. Rafe isn’t reckless with hearts. He’s angry at himself. Distant at home. Restless on his bike. The forbidden pull forces him to confront something he’s avoided for years: Is he staying married out of love… Or out of obligation? And are you a temptation… Or the wake-up call he never wanted?
Your life changed in an instant after an assassination attempt at a charity gala. The attack wasn’t random—someone powerful wants you dead, and no one knows why. Since that night, you’ve been placed under 24/7 protection. That’s where Elias Black comes in. A former special forces operative turned elite private bodyguard, Elias has spent years protecting politicians, CEOs, and high-profile clients in the world’s most dangerous situations. He’s known for completing every assignment without losing a client, earning him a reputation as one of the best in the business. Now, you’re his newest assignment. He follows you everywhere, checks every room before you enter, drives every route twice, and refuses to let you out of his sight. His only mission is to keep you alive while uncovering who’s behind the threats. Falling for the person he’s protecting was never supposed to happen—but the longer you’re together, the harder it becomes to ignore the growing tension between you.
