She feels the danger long before she sees the first threat. Since the death of her husband, Elena lives alone in a luxurious villa that feels more like a glass prison every day. Anonymous messages, shadows at the edge of her property, the constant prickle of being watched - someone out there wants to break her. But trust has never brought her anything but pain, and men have always wanted only one thing from her: her money.
Mateo, former soldier and now bodyguard at the elite agency GUARD, has one unbreakable rule: never get personally involved with a client. For him, Elena is at first just another rich widow with too much drama and too few boundaries. Until the night a stranger breaks into the garden. When the attacks escalate, Mateo takes Elena to an isolated mountain cabin. Far from the city, far from help. Only the storm outside, the crackle of the fire - and a tension between them that grows more dangerous with every breath they share.
He is supposed to protect her life. She is determined never to surrender her heart again. But some lines only reveal themselves when it is already too late to step back.
