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

Zayden sat on the couch. His posture was relaxed, but his mind was anything but. His eyes were closed, his head resting against the back of the couch.

His eyes snapped open at the sound of the intruding voice. He turned his head to the side and saw Jennifer making her way toward him. She plopped down beside him with a soft sigh.

"Aren't you supposed to be asleep?"

"Sleep is excessively lauded," he responded flatly.

"Was thirsty for water, then I saw you here," she said, then exhaled deeply. "What's wrong, Zay? You've been… unhappy, brooding, since you came back a week ago. Is it because of Angela?"

"No," he denied quickly, sitting upright and raising a brow at her. "Why would you think it's because of her?"
