EMILY

He's the guy I've been crushing on since my sister married his brother.

Danil Koslov, the youngest Koslov brother.

And the sexiest, if you ask me.

We've been friends for a while now, but something has shifted in our relationship.

Only thing is, I'm not sure if he feels the same way.

When I find out his brother ordered him to follow me to protect me from a stalker,

I feel betrayed.

Is that the only reason he's been getting closer to me,

To prove to something to his brothers?

I don't know what to think anymore.

The only thing I do know is that these feelings aren't going anywhere...

DANIL

All I've ever wanted was the respect of my brothers.

When Dimitri offers me the chance to prove how valuable I can be,

I jump at the chance.

All I have to do is keep an eye on Emily,

I've had a crush on her for years.

I want to tell her how I feel, but I'm afraid of ruining our friendship.

When we kiss, I feel sparks.

I'm sure she does too.

Then she finds out I've been keeping things from her.

She thinks I've betrayed her trust.

But I'm determined to keep her safe.

Even if she hates me for it.

The last thing I'm going to do is let someone hurt her.
