Close Quarters

📖 Free with Kindle Unlimited

Two bodyguards. One pop star. Zero professional boundaries left.

Chloe Watts is a global pop sensation running on cortisol and the pills her manager hands her like communion wafers. Five albums, ninety-one shows, and a stalker who knows her favorite flower from an interview three years ago. When he touches her face in a green room, she fires everyone — and hires the most expensive security firm in the country.

Jax Kessler is ex-Army Ranger. Rigid, controlled, and lethally precise. He communicates in efficiency and expresses love in logistics. His rules have consequences. His walls don’t break. Until her.

Rhys Morgan is ex-Marine, Force Recon. Warm where Jax is cold, gentle where Jax is granite — but just as dangerous when the safety comes off. He’s been Jax’s partner in every sense for six years. They’ve never brought a third into their relationship. Chloe is the first person they’ve both wanted, and it terrifies them professionally.

Extracted to an off-grid cabin in the Montana mountains, Chloe is cut off from everything: no phone, no internet, no pills, no manager pulling strings. Just two massive, hyper-competent men with strict rules, scheduled meals, and a praise-heavy approach to keeping their high-maintenance client in line. She’s supposed to hide. She’s not supposed to fall in love with both of them.

But the cabin is small and the tension is enormous, and when the walls between professional and personal come down, what replaces them is something none of them expected — a connection so complete it rewrites everything they thought they knew about love, safety, and who they are without the masks.

Then the stalker finds them. And the real enemy turns out to be the man Chloe trusted most.
