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.”
“Devyn
Cole.” She dug up a smile. “Woman in danger who needed saving.”

Review: I've been reading more and more mysteries and suspense novels in the last year. This one was absolutely fabulous.
I've always found that romantic suspense novels have similar plots, but this one was really different and it grabs the reader from the very start.
When Devon's father's goes missing, someone comes after her. Enter Logan who is her protection. Sparks fly between these two.
There's danger, drama, suspense and even some good spicy bits to keep your pages turning. This book has it all and the mixture of mystery and romance is perfect. The chemistry between Devon and Logan is fabulous.
I can't wait for the next book.
Rating: 5 stars
