A rescued teen and her guardian blur every line they swore to keep.
Eighteen and cast out by a cruel aunt, Lexie finds refuge with Ethan, the wealthy aviator who once shared the skies with her late father. He shields her from school harassers and steadies her first career steps, but the steady rhythm of shared mornings and late-night talks erodes the boundary between protector and ward. As Lexie matures under his roof, Ethan's instinct to shelter her twists into an unspoken longing that crosses every line they vowed to respect, leaving both caught in a desire they cannot name.
