Astrid Conway
Being a celebrity chef and influencer hadn't been Astrid's goal when she uploaded her first cooking video. She'd just wanted to share her love of cooking. Now she has it all—her own cooking show, cookbooks, and cookware line. Her dreams are only growing… until the day she stumbles upon a murder in a dark parking lot and her life gets turned upside down. The last thing she wants is a handsome bodyguard telling her what she can and can't do.
Callum 'Growler' Taylor
Being a SEAL is all Callum has known—until it isn't. Now, he's embarking on a new career in private security, and his first job protecting a celebrity chef has him questioning if leaving the Navy was the right decision. Astrid is not the diva he imagined her to be. She's funny, kind and beautiful. His instant, heated attraction to her is unexpected, but is it against the rules?
The danger surrounding Astrid increases, and when her life is in jeopardy, Callum will use all his training to keep her safe. Turns out... that's not enough.
