BLURB:
Anything can happen
when you let your guard down . . .
After receiving a
violent threat on the heels of her father’s disappearance from the town of
Arrowhead Bay, Devon Cole fears for her life—until Vigilance, a local private
security agency, steps in to shield her from danger. Although she isn’t usually
quick to surrender her freedom, she has no problem stripping her defenses for
her new sexy bodyguard . . .
Tortured by the painful
memory of lost love, Logan Malik is determined not to fall for a client again.
So when he’s tasked with watching over Devon day and night, he’s focused on
doing his job. Day is no problem, but as tensions rise at night, nothing can
protect them from giving in to unbridled passion . . .

Excerpt:
He wasn’t as much shocked by his physical reaction as by the
fact that it happened at all. For a long time now, he’d managed to keep a clamp
on his sex drive and take it out only when required, like taking aspirin for a
headache.
“You’re a smart woman,” he congratulated her. “I didn’t know
if you’d play along with me.”
She inhaled an unsteady breath and blew it out. “I took a
chance. You could have been worse than they were.”
“Still, that shows brains and quick thinking. Good for you.”
He studied the interior of her car. “Wow. They did a number with that window.
Don’t move. There’s chunks and pebbles everywhere.”
She stared at him, studying his face. “You promise you
aren’t the second wave? You know, like good cop, bad cop? The bad guys threaten
me and you come along and win my confidence by helping me?”
“Nope. Scout’s honor.”
“I, uh, saw that you have a gun.”
“So did those jackasses. I wanted them to see it.” He smiled
at her. “But I only use it as part of my job.”
She caught her lower lip in her teeth. “They just came at me
out of nowhere and ran me off the road. Then they boxed me in and smashed the
window.”
“Later I’ll want all the details. Right now let’s get you
out of here.”
“Do you know who they are? Those men?”
“No.” His voice hardened. “But I know other garbage like
them.”
She swallowed. “So who are you, anyway?”
“Oh. Sorry.” He winked at her, and the tension in her body
visibly eased. “Logan Malik. Savior of women in danger.”
“Devon Cole.” She dug up a smile. “Woman in danger who
needed saving.”
