After the sudden departure of her previous bodyguard, Y/N Sinclair’s carefully controlled life takes an unexpected turn when her father hires Derek Hayes — a young man in his twenties who doesn’t seem prepared for the world he’s about to enter. Born into immense wealth, Y/N has lived a life shaped by privilege and quiet tragedy. Her mother’s death in a car accident when she was eight left a void that business deals and luxury could never fill. With a father constantly away, she and her twin brother Oscar Sinclair grew inseparable, relying on each other in a world where appearances matter more than truth. At college, even though it’s their first year, they are the golden pair—beautiful, charming, untouchable. Surrounded by an elite circle of equally wealthy and influential friends, they embody perfection. But perfection is a mask. Behind closed doors, their glittering world fractures into something far more dark. Beneath the polished smiles and designer clothes lies a culture of excess, secrecy, and indecent parties. Keegan arrives expecting to guard a spoiled rich girl. Instead, he steps into a labyrinth of lies, power, and hidden darkness—where the line between protector and witness begins to blur, and where Y/N may be far more complicated than she appears. And as the nights grow wilder and the secrets deepen, Keegan realizes one thing: He isn’t just protecting her from the world. He might have to protect her from herself or maybe even from himself…
