Keeping her safe is his instinct. Standing beside him is her choice.

Then one kiss makes professional distance a lot harder to maintain. When troubling records turn suspicion toward Russell, every decision draws an audience. Getting close could damage both their careers. His answer is to pull away before the fallout reaches her. But Sasha has earned her place beside him. She will fight for the truth. She won't accept protection that leaves her no say. If Russell wants a chance at love, he'll have to trust her with the choice to stay.
