Rook Security

PART ONE
Elena Vasquez thought she would never be safe again, not after she nearly got blown to pieces by a car bomb. Rook Security then comes in, spiriting her away to shield her from the ruthless criminals seeking to kill her and her campaign against ivory smuggling. That's when she meets him again - the charmingly awkward jock who never gave her the time of day. She knows he's just being paid to protect her, just doing a job that any meathead with a gun can do... so why is it that he makes her feel that everything's going to be alright?

PART TWO
Sequence Bone is the ice man of Rook Security - cool, calm, and collected as he watches everything from his high-tech perch. Then she came bumbling and bubbling into his life. His job is to be her eyes and ears, to provide overwatch as she cuts off her ties to one of the most dangerous men in New York. And yet he just couldn't keep up the frosty mask that he normally wears, couldn't stop caring about her more than he should.

PART THREE
Atlas Bone knows what it's like to suffer, to take all the pain and abuse without being able to do a thing. His laughter, his bantering and blustering - all a facade he learned to build up over the years. That's why he recognized the signs when he first lays his eyes upon the little waif of a woman: eyes deep with despair, flesh sunken from chronic hunger, and bruises in all the right spots. He wanted to give her a small gesture of kindness, help make her life a little easier while soothing over his long-forgotten wounds of the heart.But the past has a way of catching up with everyone...

PART FOUR
Moreau Davy may smile for the cameras, pose for the fans, and dazzle the paparazzi. Deep inside, however, he pines away for a woman he knows hates him. Better to keep her at arm's length, play the role of stupid celebrity, than to risk losing her altogether by confessing his feelings for her. And then someone decides to kill him... or at least tries to.

Savannah Georgia hates the spoiled, egotistical clients of Rook Security - especially this one self-important Hollywood hotshot. He brings in the money on the regular though so she grits her teeth and plays the part of bodyguard. One failed assassination attempt later, and she finds out that the man called Moreau Davy isn't as invincible - or as intolerable - as she once thought him to be.

PART FIVE
Javier Rook gave her all the space she needed - even if meant signing the divorce papers. He ignored the screams of his soul, of the love he lost, all for the sake of her happiness. And so he endured, steeling his heart against the pain. If it was for her sake, he would stoically take anything and everything that comes his way.

Someone out there, however, wants to make sure that Javier never finds happiness ever again. And what better way to make a man suffer than to destroy that which he loves most?
