MA1 Iskander Ayhanโs orders are simple: stay with Admiral Daltonโs son as his plainclothes bodyguard while he attends university classes. So typicalโa high-ranking officer abusing Navy resources for unnecessary security as a status symbol. But it doesnโt take long before Iskander realizes heโs not really there to protect the kid from benign harassment by homophobic classmates.
Behind the piercings, eyeliner, and bad attitude, Troy Dalton is hiding something. Heโs scared, and although heโs not so sure the armed bodyguard by his side is enough to keep him safe, he canโt risk revealing the truth.
Slowly, Iskander gains Troyโs trust, and the walls start coming down, but before they know it, the two men are way too close to each other... and suddenly Iskander is attracting more danger to the man heโs sworn to protect.
Now he doesnโt know how to keep Troy safe from harmโby staying close to him, or getting as far away from him as possible.
