GENRE: Romantic Suspense

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.”
