A bodyguard falling for the woman he's protecting. Happens so often, it's a cliché, right? Not for me. I have rules keeping personal and business strictly separated. It was never a problem. Until Piper. We "met" when she sat next to me on a park bench and said, "Pretend you're my boyfriend." The sexiest woman I'd ever seen rocked my world with a kiss then disappeared. I couldn't stop thinking about her. Or that kiss. Imagine my shock when I arrive at work and find out she's my newest assignment. She's a movie star, making children's movies, and a stalker is trying to upend her life. It stirred every one of my protective instincts, along with an undeniable—definitely not one-sided—attraction. We're trying to ignore those feelings. We have to. Piper is the epitome of the white-picket-fence life and I'm never in one spot long enough to even consider a family. I'll do whatever it takes to protect Piper. Which is why right now I'm not just her bodyguard, I'm also her fake boyfriend. And the safest place for her is staying in my house. How challenging is it pretending to be attracted to this woman while trying to pretend I'm not attracted to her? I'm about to fake around and find out.
