A disgraced pop star in hiding. A broody bodyguard who refuses to get close. A love that may cost them everything.

​

Clara King knows the world is obsessed with her. What they don’t understand is that she has spent years carefully crafting her image. But when a security breach at her concert ends in tragedy, that image shatters.

​

Now the world calls her a monster, and Clara might agree.

​

With her career hanging by a thread and someone digging into the darkest night of her life, she’s sent to hide in Haven Lake under the protection of Garrison Locke.

​

The gruff head of security at The Anchorage Resort makes one thing clear from the moment they meet: he’s here to keep Clara alive, not be her friend.

​

Garrison has spent his entire life keeping people safe. But Clara King is unlike anyone he’s ever worked with. Beneath the fame is a woman carrying more pain than anyone realizes, and suddenly the lines between them blur.

​

But someone knows the truth about Clara’s past, and they are determined to expose it.

​

When the storm finally hits, Clara realizes that losing her career would be devastating, but losing Garrison might be worse.
