What Happens When Protection Becomes Obsession

David wakes up next to Janice, their ten-year friendship a carefully maintained balance between desire and denial. They have a rule: no strings, no complications, no emotional entanglement. It’s worked perfectly.

Until Sylvia moves in next door.

One moment of protection spirals into something far more dangerous. Mysterious assassins close in. Loyalties fracture. And David discovers that the greatest threat isn’t the bullets coming his way—it’s the realization that some boundaries, once crossed, can never be redrawn.
