Her Bodyguard's Protection

Mara Ellison has spent her career exposing secrets that powerful companies and carefully guarded reputations would rather keep buried, until her latest investigation links her to a dangerous corporate network and puts her in the path of people who want her silenced.

They are already watching her, they know where she lives, and the threat can no longer be handled from a safe distance.

Adrian Vale is forty-two, disciplined, and highly skilled at keeping clients alive as an elite executive-protection specialist, but Mara will not accept the role of helpless charge and contests every restriction he imposes.

He is older, he is her bodyguard, and he is supposed to stay detached, yet the closer the danger comes, the harder it is to ignore the attraction between them.

When someone inside the circle they trusted turns against them, Adrian must decide whether keeping Mara safe means handling every threat himself or trusting her to stand with him.

Protecting her was the job; wanting her is the risk that may prove just as dangerous as the people hunting her.
