She wants our protection, but her safety comes with a price.

Emilia Harrison. The girl I attended Pacific Prep with. My sister's best friend. The greatest sex I've ever had.

I never expected to see her again after graduation, so when she showed up in my kitchen in the middle of the night, I didn't know what to think.

Apparently, there's some psycho after her, and she needs my help. My family owns a private security firm, but I can't protect her from Wilder. He's still heartbroken over her and livid at her return. He doesn't care about the reason why she's here; he only wants her gone.

So far, I haven't stood in his way. Her presence brings up old feelings I don't want to confront. It's easier to blame her for the past than face the truth—that I'm in love with my sister's best friend.

Kai, one of my employees, has been hired as her bodyguard. However, as time passes, I see the demons in his eyes slowly being replaced with respect for the proud woman he's sworn to protect.

With all of us living under one roof, it's only a matter of time until tensions reach a crescendo, and this time, none of us will escape.

Welcome to Ridgeway, Em, where you will have to survive more than just your stalker.
