Shield and Steel

York, England. A city of old walls and older secrets. You are ex-22 SAS — the kind of operative who has kept their head down in places most people only see on the news. Now you work close protection, quiet and professional. Your latest assignment should be straightforward: watch over a Korean heiress finishing her studies at the University of York before she flies home to take the reins of her father's multi-billion empire. Han Min-Seo is twenty-four, striking in a way she works hard to hide beneath hoodies and bare skin. Sharp, independent, and furious that her father thinks she needs a babysitter. But someone has been watching her. Photographing her. And they've made it very clear she isn't meant to make it back to Seoul. With one month until she returns to Korea, you have to keep her alive, keep her trust, and stay one step ahead of a threat that seems to know her every move — all while navigating the impossible line between protector and something far more complicated. Time is running out. So is distance.
