Summary
Beth Dutton has built her career on holding other people’s worlds together. As chief aide to rising political figure Eli Ward, she’s the one who absorbs the pressure, manages the crises, and keeps the truth buried beneath polished statements and perfect timing. When former special forces operative Rip Wheeler is assigned to Ward’s security team, Beth expects another silent shadow in a suit. Instead, Rip becomes the one person who notices the toll her job is taking — the exhaustion she hides, the fear she won’t name, the secrets she’s forced to carry alone.
Beth has survived years of pressure.
Rip has survived worse.
But neither of them is prepared for what happens when their lives collide — or how far Rip will go to protect the woman who was never supposed to matter.
