Nicole Phillips expects her new housekeeper to be a dowdy woman. Instead, Jake Colson arrives at her door. He's gorgeous, male, and surprisingly skilled in the kitchen. What Nicole doesn't know is that Jake isn't entirely human. He's a newly turned vampire who barely understands his transformed state. His family has assigned him to protect Nicole from an unknown threat, so he poses as domestic help to stay close. Jake discovers that guarding Nicole becomes more complicated than he anticipated. Someone is targeting her, and he must stop them. Meanwhile, Jake struggles with his vampire nature while falling for the woman he's supposed to protect. Nicole finds herself drawn to her mysterious employee despite the strange circumstances of their arrangement. Jake realizes he wants more than just a temporary assignment. He wants to prove that their connection transcends his supernatural transformation.
