Bound to Protect

When high school teacher Sophie Harlan becomes the focus of a relentless stalker, her brother makes one call he swore he’d never need to make. Soon, ex-military bodyguard Caleb Reed and his partner, Bianca Torres, are at her door, calm voices, watchful eyes, and a plan to disappear.

They move Sophie to a remote safe house where the nights are quiet except for the hum of a generator and the scrape of boots on the porch. Tension settles in fast. Caleb is steady, all control and restraint. Bianca is sharp, warm, impossible to ignore. With nowhere to go and nowhere to hide, Sophie feels her careful life shift under the weight of their presence.

Days blur together. Coffee goes cold on the counter. Conversations stretch late. Looks linger. What starts as protection turns complicated, then personal. The line between safety and want grows thin, even as the danger outside creeps closer.

The threats escalate. Trust becomes everything. And the connection forming between them refuses to stay neatly contained one man, two women, and feelings none of them planned for.

When fear closes in, how much truth can they afford to face?
