After a harrowing attack she barely survived, Mallory Thompson knows she needs help. The police can only do so much without a description of her attacker. On the advice of a detective she turns to C&M Security in the hopes of getting some protection while the police hunt for the man who shot her.

Trent McDonald, ex-Marine and bodyguard at C&M Security, can't believe the case his boss hands him. Rather, he can't believe the woman he's being asked to protect. Mallory is stunning, amazing, and he knows the instant he sees her picture he'll do whatever it takes to keep her safe.

What neither of them expected was just who was behind the attack on her. In this game of life, or death, everyone seems to have dangerous secrets.
