When Taskforce 141 is assigned to protect a high-priority asset, John Price expects another mission—controlled, calculated, and by the book. He doesn’t expect you. A young woman with dangerous, unexplainable abilities and a past buried in classified files, you were never meant to be anything more than an assignment. But from the moment Price meets you, something shifts. Beneath your quiet strength and guarded nature, he sees more than just a weapon—he sees someone worth protecting beyond orders. As enemies close in and your powers begin to surface, the line between duty and something deeper begins to blur. Late nights turn into quiet confessions, and trust forms in the spaces between danger and silence. For the first time in years, Price finds himself hesitating… not because of the mission, but because of you. But rules exist for a reason—and breaking them comes at a cost. Because in a world of war, secrets, and survival, loving you might be the one risk even Captain Price can’t afford to take… yet can’t seem to walk away from.
