She's my job, my security detail. So why does our fake relationship feel so real?
TATE
I've done the whole protecting of assets gig before. This specific asset, Zoey (AKA Leigh Ann Prentiss), is the former lover of one of the most insidious drug lords in history. Despite that lover being dead, her choice to testify about the internal workings of his cartel remains dangerous.
As a U.S. Marshal, I know the FBI has done its best to track down any members who might have survived, but that's never an exact science. Ensuring Zoey and her four sons' safety is up to my team and I, and since on paper, I'll be seen as her spouse, most of that responsibility is mine.
Too bad I didn't factor falling for her into the equation.
ZOEY
When I initially entered the WITSEC program, I knew starting a new life wouldn't be easy. It's difficult to raise my boys in a location so different from what they've always known, even if it is the only option for us to stay together.
One thing I never could've predicted are my feelings for our handler, Tate Rylan. Unlike most men I've known, he's considerate, kind, and respectful. Yet deciding whether to fight my attraction or give in to it is challenging.
Whatever path I choose, I know any relationship we might have can't possibly last.
Will Zoey and Tate determine that loving each other is worth the risk, even temporarily? Or will these feelings become a distraction that could prove fatal for all involved?
