What if you fell in love with the one man you can never have?
When billionaire heiress Max Fortescue reluctantly agrees to let Noah Storm be her bodyguard, she has no idea that she’s leaping out of the frying pan and into the fire! A stalker has terrorised her for two years, but nothing’s as frightening as the out-of-control desire she feels for her off limits brother’s best friend…
Noah Storm doesn’t do personal. It’s not his style. He gets in, does the job, and gets out. So when an old friend calls in a favour, Noah treats it like any other job. Only Max is nothing like his ordinary clients, and suddenly it’s taking all his will power to ignore her, and to focus on doing his damned job.
One mistake could be fatal – can Noah keep Max safe when he’s lusting after her?
“It’s my sister, Noah.” Grayson’s words were raw, heavy with the weight of his responsibilities, and they reached right into Noah’s heart. He knew what it was like to lose a sister; he knew the pain of not having done enough to protect her. “I need your help to keep her safe.” But Noah hadn’t done personal security in a long time. He preferred to pull the levers of his company, overseeing security arrangements of one of the top agencies in America from his office in New York. “I can organize my top guy…” “You’re the top guy, the only one I trust. It has to be you.” Noah stared out of his window, his symmetrical face held in a mask of tension. With a jaw that was carved by granite, his face was angular and determined, every inch of him in command at all times. “Ever since we started appearing in that bloody Scott Gazette Rich List we’ve had to deal with this kind of thing, but this is a whole new level. It’s madness. I’m really worried for her, Noah.” Noah sighed heavily. “I get it. But there must be security firms in the UK who can handle this. People already on the ground.” “They’re not you. I need the best.” Noah was silent, processing that. “I’d offer you all the money in the world, but I know that’s not what motivates you. So. tell me what I have to do to convince you?” Noah ground his teeth together, frustration whipping at the base of his spine. They both knew the answer to that: Noah owed Grayson his life. If Grayson needed a favour now, then Noah would deliver on it. “Does she know how I work?” “No. But she’s scared. She’ll cooperate.” “If I’m doing security for someone, I take charge of their whole damned life, Gray. Every iota of their life. It’s the only way I can do my job.” “She’ll hate it,” Gray admitted with a humourless laugh. “But she’ll accept it, because Max is a pragmatist and she doesn’t want to die. She’s scared, not that she’d admit it. When can you be here?” Noah spun away from the window and began to stride towards the door. “I’ll get the red-eye.” “You don’t know how glad I am to hear you say that.” “But you tell your sister that I’m in charge. If she wants my protection, she has to do what I say. Got it?” “Yeah, sure. See you in the morning.” THE RICH LIST gets off to an explosive start in NEVER MINE.THE RICH LIST – more money than Croesus, their lives are the stuff of fantasies. Private jets, super yachts, personal islands, parties filled with the finest champagne and abundant luxury, step inside THE RICH LIST and see how the other half lives...
