Two people eager to save each other... and missing the truth that's right in front of them.


Layla Graham has a family who loves her-including fiercely protective older brothers. They've kept her from making mistakes, but also her own choices. With her first relationship comes freedom she's never experienced. The change gives her room to breathe, but it also makes her less cautious. After a terrifying situation that could have been much worse, her parents hire a bodyguard to protect her.


Jamie Campbell is more than happy to accept the job. Not only does it give him the routine he craves, he actually enjoys spending time with Layla. Despite their immediate chemistry, loving her isn't a risk he's prepared to take. Experience has taught him it always leads to disappointment or pain.


Too bad love isn't always a choice.


Their feelings for each other build despite their denial and her father's forbiddance. But she finds herself in a new relationship she didn't want and he finds a family he would die to keep.


Can they find their way to each other, or will they be just another tragic love story?
