Zee stands nearly six feet tall with red hair and a damaged hip. Bills pile up while she worries about her naive sister, her five year old nephew, her homebound mother, and her boss who deals drugs. She never expected to need help from Gentry, the quiet autistic man who believes himself a true knight. He carries a sword, wears armor, and follows an ancient code of honor. Two years ago, voices told him to become Zee's protector. He has watched over her from a distance, barely speaking but always ready. When someone kidnaps a member of Zee's family, desperation drives her to seek out Gentry. This unlikely pair must work together to save what matters most. Their partnership will transform both their lives and create an unbreakable bond between a struggling woman seeking redemption and the most unexpected of champions.
