Protection. Monroe Iris has lived her entire life seeking it. She longs to have a safe space to fall in love—to be vulnerable. She's surrounded by things and people that were put in place to fill her with security but has none. Her entire life has been molded around being the perfect wife for an imperfect man. She's stuck following a family tradition that doesn't mean her well, without anyone in her corner to save her.

Tradition. Dr. Royale London doesn't do things for the sake of tradition.

When Monroe shows up in his office seeking his services, he knows instantly that she needs more than what she initially came for.

For the first time in her life, Monroe is provided the protection she's always wanted, but her duty to her family refuses to let her go. Will Dr. London be able to protect Monroe and help her carve out a new family legacy of her own, or will Monroe find that finding a bodyguard isn't enough to save her?
