Keeping Rafa safe at any cost is Shane’s mission.īut as Rafa gets under his skin, will they both put their hearts on the line? Shane’s never had room for romance in his life, and he’d certainly never cross that line with a protectee.

He discovers there’s a vibrant young man beneath the timid public shell, and while he knows Rafa has a crush on him, he assures himself it’s harmless.

Shane’s worked his way up through the Secret Service ranks, and while protecting the president’s shy, boring son isn’t his dream White House assignment, it’s an easy enough task since no one pays Rafa much attention. Besides, it’s not like Shane Kendrick would even look at him twice if it wasn’t his job. It’s definitely not part of Rafa’s plan to get a new Secret Service agent who’s a walking wet dream, but he’s made it this long keeping his desires to himself. Once his family’s out of the spotlight, he can be honest with his conservative parents about his sexuality and his dream of being a chef. His father’s presidency is almost over, and he just needs to stick to his carefully crafted plan. Codenamed “Valor” by the Secret Service, Rafa feels anything but brave as he hides in the closet and tries to stay below the radar in his last year of college. Growing up gay in the White House hasn’t been easy for Rafael Castillo. He’d give his life to protect the president’s son.
