An artist in trouble, an ex without a conscience, and the hunky security guard who needs her trust.

In over her head, with a family to support and a company to run, everything hinges on Freya Larch. If she fails they could lose everything and she can't allow that happen. Not again.

When Mitch Tate walks into her life he brings hope--and an attraction she hadn't expected. Maybe she won't have to fight alone, but who will protect her heart?

Will the price of his help be too high?
