A questionable choice in men led Amelia to where she was today. No money. No friends and a deplorable apartment in the worst part of the city. Not to mention chained to a bed. It was hard to think things could possibly get worse.

Yet somehow they did.

Being rescued should’ve been the highlight of her day. And it would’ve been if it was anyone but him. Ryker Ellis. Her boss’s bodyguard and the only man who flustered her to no end.

One day a year, Ryker allowed himself to mourn the tragic loss of a family member. His friends knew better than to ask him for anything on that day but Monica wasn’t just anyone. She was the woman who was kidnapped on his watch. He promised to always be there for her.

So when she calls and asks him to find her missing secretary, Amelia, how can he say no? Even if it was his one day of the year. Nothing will stop him from keeping his promise.

But things aren’t what they seem.

Can Ryker save her when he has failed every other woman in his life?
