She’s the last woman in the world he’s allowed to fall for. And the only woman he wants.
There I was minding my own business, building my real estate empire, and loving life. So the last thing I needed was a series of threatening letters as I worked on my latest fix and flip sending my loving, protective dad into over-the-top-protective dad mode from the other side of the world. I’m not worried—as an internet influencer, I get a lot of strange comments that don’t mean anything. But there's no stopping my dad from calling in a favor from an old friend—Zane Lewis. Enter Smith Everette. Now I’ve got the hottest man I’ve ever seen for a bodyguard. I don’t have time for a relationship, but a little fun never hurt anyone. Until I realized that Smith is more than a good time. I’m ready to fight like hell to make him see that we have a future together. Too bad the stubborn former SEAL has the control of well…a Navy SEAL.
Easy job—easy day or so I thought.
My latest assignment should’ve been hassle free. Get to the bottom of who was sending cryptic letters to the daughter of a man my boss had served with in the Navy, a man he thinks of as his brother. Zane has two rules for this job. Number one, don’t let anything happen to Aria Taylor. And number two, don’t fall in love with her. Not a problem—love and relationships are not on my radar. My guilt wouldn’t let me. I’d tried that once and failed—spectacularly. But as soon as Aria opened the door, I realized there would be nothing easy about staying away from her. Aria was as beautiful as she was talented. Five minutes later when the sexy, flirty banter started I knew I was screwed. I might not fall in love but not giving in to my attraction would take more control than I had. The unfortunate part—Aria let me know right away she not only liked what she saw but she wasn’t interested in long-term.
But someone’s watching her, following her, threatening her. Following Zane’s first rule wasn’t a problem. I could and would keep her safe.
However, I was dangerously close to violating rule number two. Our no-strings-attached good time had turned into something more. Aria had torn down the walls I’d spent years building leaving me raw and exposed. Powerless to the promise of a future I never thought existed.
Then the threats against her take a dark turn no one expected. I’d failed again. Even if I can never have Aria, I’ll give everything I have to save her.
Warning: Smith is a spicy romantic suspense with a foul-mouthed hero who has trauma-fueled commitment issues who butts up against a witty, equally foul-mouthed heroine who knows what she wants and is willing to fight to get it.
Genre: Romantic Suspense
