Artemis’s dream job on the president's security detail has just become her worst nightmare.

The assignment of a lifetime? Check. Diving headfirst into the action on a national stage? Got it.

Her hopes of a positive work environment? Snuffed out like a candle the moment she realizes that she has to work with him.

Since their first days at the academy, Luke Ryder has made it his personal mission to make her life miserable. He’s swept her legs out from under her at every opportunity, but now, in the real world, they’re finally on a level playing field… if she can find a way to win over the boss who underestimates her and the grumpy teenagers she’s sworn to protect.

Everything changes when a conspiracy rears its shadowy head, forcing them together as it threatens the president's children and drags innocents into its path. Will Artemis be able to overcome her prejudice and work together with Luke to keep their wards from its clutches? Or will the sparks between them send the whole system burning to the ground?
