The Protector

Christian Norwood is an extremely successful man. He's already retired at the age of 28, having made all his money in the stocks at a young age - but now, he's facing a problem he can't just throw money at. A spate of kidnapping attempts on kids of other rich families in his circle has him on edge. After he came out as bisexual to his partner a few years ago, the mother of his daughter left him with a string of homophobic insults. Now, six-year-old Frida Kahlo fan Gracie is the guiding star of his life, and he'd do anything to protect her. As it turns out, though, 'anything' must include hiring the man he slept with and ghosted on six years ago to serve as a bodyguard. Fiercely closeted, Christian went on a date with Kane Cuoco that was filled with chemistry, fondness and a night of passion - but the morning after, the fear overtook him, and he slipped away before Kane woke up. There's still a lot of bitterness swimming around, and this isn't the kind of job that ambitious Kane wants to take. However, they both have needs they can't ignore, and the circumstances demand that they work together. Can Christian overcome his anxiety to live in the here and now after all these years? Is Kane willing to risk a second chance on a man so ruled by fear? Only Gracie really seems to know what she's doing - and one thing's for sure. In a dangerous situation like this, they can't afford to screw up all over again.
