In a world of ancient grudges and hidden magic, Angela Meadowbrook, a fiery and skilled archer, finds herself at the center of a deadly game of revenge. Her father, the ruthless and cunning Meadowbrook, has made many enemies - including Zayden, a wealthy and mysterious young man who has been secretly plotting his vengeance for years.

Zayden, driven by a burning desire for retribution, infiltrates the Meadowbrook household by becoming Angela's bodyguard. As they spend more time together, Angela finds herself falling deeply in love with the enigmatic Zayden, unaware of his true intentions.

But Zayden's feelings for Angela grow stronger with each passing day, threatening to upend his carefully laid plans. Torn between his loyalty to his family's memory and his love for the daughter of his sworn enemy, Zayden must confront the darkness within himself.

As the truth about Zayden's past and his connection to Meadowbrook begins to unravel, Angela is faced with an impossible choice: forgive the man she loves for his deception or turn her back on him forever.

Will Zayden and Angela find a way to overcome their differences and be together, or will the weight of their families' secrets tear them apart forever?

The Lady And Her Bodyguard

"Did you do it?" Angela asked Zayden, her voice trembling slightly as she stood in her therapeutic post. With a graceful flick of her wrist, she raised the arrow and shot it directly at the bullseye.

"Do what?" Zayden replied, his tone detached, lingering behind her.

"Shaun, did you kill Shaun?" Angela dropped her archer kit to the ground and turned to face him fully, her eyes searching for answers.

"Why would you assume I did such a thing?" he inquired, maintaining his cool, nonchalant posture despite the tremor he could hear in her own voice.

"And? I killed Shaun because I said I would fix things? Your behavior is not very aligned with your words, Angela. Did you not want anything to do with Shaun? Why does his death bother you so?"
