   Summary

   When Phillip Graves took a contract to protect the daughter of a powerful corporate magnate, he thought he knew the score: a simple babysitting job for a spoiled, reclusive heiress. A necessary, high-stakes political move to secure his company's future.

   But his charge is a collection of contradictions - a ghost with a past that doesn't add up and a resilience that defies her fragile reputation. When a violent crisis shatters her facade and forces his mission off-book, their strictly professional relationship becomes a casualty in a war he didn't know he was fighting.

   Now, the easy gig has become a covert investigation to determine the truth. Is the woman he's protecting a casualty of her family's ambition, or a danger he can't afford to underestimate?
