It's his job to keep me safe, but his obsession is free of charge...

Bianca

This entire mess started when my older brother's best friend got hired to be my bodyguard.

Colton Keller has been keeping an eye on me ever since he came to live on our ranch. The wall of muscle wrapped in mysterious darkness has spoken less than five words to me in the same amount of years.

But now that Colton's position is official, he follows me like a reclusive shadow. I try to ditch him at every turn, but he never lets me get too far.

Just as I'm about to get more creative with my evasive maneuvers, a threat to my safety pushes him to the extreme.

Colton

I'm obsessed with my best friend's younger sister. There's no other way to describe my desire for Bianca Benson. It's another secret saddled to me.

But then her brother assigns me to watch over the reckless rodeo princess, as if I haven't been doing that already.

What started as an obligation to protect her has grown into a necessity.

It's the only part of her that's mine. At least until my past resurfaces to haunt me.

Bianca bucks my restrictive methods as complications force my hand. She wants answers that I'm not ready to share. I'll only surrender once she's ready to admit the truth.

My infatuation might've started it, but hers will save us.
