Anna “Ace” O’Hara, a sharp-witted news anchor, thought she’d left her whirlwind Vegas marriage to ex-cop Archer Papadopoulos firmly in the past. But when an old mafia threat resurfaces, targeting her as retribution for Archer’s actions years ago, her ex-husband crashes back into her life with a singular mission: to protect her.
Archer, now the head of a private security firm, never stopped watching over Ace from afar, but their reunion reignites unresolved feelings and the fiery chemistry they once shared. As they navigate imminent danger, Ace and Archer must confront the choices that drove them apart years ago while working together to outwit a relentless enemy. Amidst the chaos, old wounds and lingering love collide, forcing them to decide if their shared history can be a foundation for a future—or a recipe for heartbreak.
