Guard against any danger. Especially if it comes from within.
Detective Matteo Garza doesn’t just do the job–he is the job.
Ā
He’s learned the hard way that work and pleasure can’t co-exist.
Ā
So when his little sister’s best friend accidentally uncovers a money laundering scheme
led by one of Remington’s most cold-blooded criminals,
Garza vows to keep things strictly business as he keeps her safe.
Ā
No matter how much the quirky mathematician
makes him feel things best left buried.
No matter how much she makes him want.
Ā
Delia Sutton knows she’s not like most people,
just like she knows she needs to forget her ages-old crush on Matteo
and focus on survival.
Ā
But the closer they get, the bolder she becomes–
the more she breaks down his carefully crafted barriers to discover the man beneath.
Ā
Danger is closer than either of them could possibly imagine
and no one can be trusted.
Delia needs a guardian to fight by her side, and Matteo will do anything to protect her.
No matter who the enemy is.
