Bedroom games are fine … but I need a woman who won’t play with my heart.After years in the military, I’ve faced down a lot of things, and there’s not much I shy away from. Except relationships. Because when you catch your wife in bed with another man, that tends to sour even the most hardened man against women.When I was hired to keep surveillance on a woman with a checkered past, I went into the job anticipating the worst. But what I found was a woman who turned my head. Who made my blood heat and my body burn. A woman who made me feel alive again.A woman who was nothing like what I expected, but everything I wanted. A woman who, it turned out, needed my protection. And wanted my touch.And as the world fell out from under us, and everything I thought I knew shifted, there was only one reality I could hold onto—that the more I got to know her, the more I wanted her.But if I’m going to make her mine, I’ll have to not only keep her safe, I’ll have to prove to her that I’ve conquered my own fears and doubts. That I’m done looking into the past, and that all I want is a future—with her.

It was wrong to stay together ... but we couldn't stay apart.I've been with my share of women, but none touched my heart and fired my senses the way she did. Her smile enticed me. Her caresses teased me. Her body aroused me.And yet, it couldn't last. There were too many years between us. A gap we couldn't breach, and we broke it off. No. I broke it off. And I've regretted that decision ever since.Now she's in danger, and there's no one else I trust to protect her. But the more time we spend together, the more I want her back. And all I know now is I have to keep her safe-and despite both of us knowing better, somehow, someway, she will be mine again.

She's a temptation I just can't resist…My business is security. I protect other people-sometimes at my own expense.It's the only way to explain how I got talked into playing fake fiancé for my best friend's little sister.Now I'm seeing little Samantha Watson through new eyes. Instead of the little girl I used to tease, I'm up close and personal with a stunning woman whose curves and heat and heart-stopping smile rocket straight to my heart, not to mention parts south.I've never minded going above and beyond for a job. Except playing the smitten lover doesn't feel like acting anymore. Despite all my experience, I'm the one who forgot to secure my heart.The only rule for this job was to walk away at the end.But maybe this time-for the first time-I'm going to break the rules.This book contains a BONUS deleted chapter following the story!
