Publisher's Synopsis
From USA TODAY Bestselling author Xavier Neal comes an all-new, best friends to lovers, forced proximity, bodyguard romance...
She is his toughest mission...and biggest weakness. The assignment is simple. Don't let the client get kidnapped. Don't let someone kill her. Don't confess that I've secretly been in love with her since we first met. It's the last part that complicates what would otherwise be a fairly routine operation. Well, that along with having to move said client aka my best friend into my penthouse because pretending to be a couple is now part of our cover. All of these things make my mission significantly harder. As does her ex boyfriend who just so happens to be our boss. As does my partner who gets a kick out of making things uncomfortable for me. As does my best friend herself when she has us crossing a line we can't uncross.To the company I work for, my main objective is to stop an unidentified threat from eliminating one of their most valuable assets. But to me? My only job is to protect the love of my life - or die trying. (This is book 1 of a duet. The story will conclude in book 2, Shockproof) TROPE CHECK
