A new, sexy standalone novel fromย New York
Times
ย Bestsellers, Vi Keeland and Penelope Wardโ€ฆ

ย 

The last thing I needed was a live-in bodyguard. And I
definitely didnโ€™t want him. Six foot two, with broad shoulders that were
impossible to ignore and a talent for getting in my way, Wes Callahan was a
walking bad decision.

ย 

But when youโ€™re the daughter of a notorious mob boss,
apparently your opinions stop mattering the moment your father ignites another
war. Iโ€™d spent my entire life trying to escape that crooked worldโ€”new name, new
city, newfound freedom. At least until I was suddenly shacked up with my new
bodyguard.ย 

ย 

Wes knew exactly how to push my buttons. He was also
infuriatingly protective. And smart. And funny. And thoughtful when he thought
I wasnโ€™t paying attention.ย  Little by
little, the walls Iโ€™d built started to crack, and falling for the bodyguard
became the most dangerous thing Iโ€™ve ever done. Because if my father found out,
Wes wouldnโ€™t just lose his job. Heโ€™d lose his life.ย 

ย 

Getting involved with him was reckless, yet I couldnโ€™t
find a way to stop it, no matter how hard I tried.ย  But while I was busy losing my heart, the man
who took it was hiding a secret.ย 

ย 

 

And it turned out, the most dangerous man in my life wasnโ€™t my father after allโ€”it was the one who threatened to break my heart.
