Alexis, an ex-military veteran, has kept his live-in maid, Eryn, at arm’s length, never wanting to blur the lines and complicate things between them. Instead, he hankers for her from afar, wanting her but not giving into the lust he covets for her.

Eryn has been crushing on Alexis since she began her employment, and she's made no secret about how she feels. However, when she stumbles on his little playroom and it piques her curiosity, she desperately tries to break down the fortress he's built around himself.

When push comes to shove and Eryn draws the line, demanding he let her go so she can move on with her life, Alexis has a different idea, a plan to keep her close and his walls still intact around him.

But the foundation begins to crack and so does everything around them. Will Alexis and Eryn get their happy ending, or will he allow her to slip through his fingers and have to live with another regret.
