Rhett Calloway is the six-foot-seven captain on her roster, and the one man she has sworn not to touch.
For three years he has turned every errand toward her office, her house, and the quiet authority of the woman he calls Miss C.

He stays patient anyway, through the slow burn of a secret neither of them can quite kill.

He is younger, he works for her, and choosing him is the worst decision she can make—yet she keeps making it behind a locked door.
