About this ebook

Talia Shaw has spent her adult life working as a scientist for a big pharmaceutical company.  She’s focused on saving lives, not living life. When her lab is broken into and it's clear someone is after the top secret formula she’s working on, she turns to the one man she can trust. The same irresistible man she turned away years earlier because she was too young and naive to believe a sexy guy like Shane Landon could want her. 

Shane Landon’s bodyguard work for McKay-Taggart is the one thing that brings him satisfaction in his life. Relationships come in second to the job. Always. Then little brainiac Talia Shaw shows up in his backyard, frightened and on the run, and his world is turned upside down. And not just because she’s found him naked in his outdoor shower, either. 

With Talia's life in danger, Shane has to get her out of town and to her eccentric, hermit mentor who has the final piece of the formula she’s been working on, while keeping her safe from the men who are after her.  Guarding Talia's body certainly isn't any hardship, but he never expects to fall hard and fast for his best friend’s little sister and the only woman who’s ever really gotten under his skin. 

Ratings and reviews

This one had me hooked right form the beginning. Plus it had one of my favorite troupes brother's best friend. Talia is making ground breaking research in her lab and someone doesn't want to see it to come to light. She runs to the one guy who can protect her. There is one part that my heart broke along with Talia's, but I thought what Shane ended up doing was super sweet. Talia is made of tough stuff and surprises Shane at every turn. To me this one had nonstop action. For a quick read it packed a punch with the story. Some of my favorite scenes were the ones with Ian. They were quite funny and it gave the book some humor during the intense moments.

Yes to His To Protect by Carly Phillips. Carly pulled off another sexy and wild romance with her newest Novella to add to the Masters and Mercenaries Crossover series. This is my 5th book I read and so far a favorite!!! Shane and Talia were the Taboo couple that you will come to love! You know rule #1? Never date your best friends little sister. The sparks flew in the past for these two but now a days, whoa! Firecrackers!! The Heat Factor was in another galaxy! The suspense was there and you would not be able to guess what was next. I love all there was about our sexy bodyguard <3 Another great read by a favorite author <3

This is a suspenseful, steamy romance that is part of the Masters & Mercenaries Crossover Collection but is a total standalone. Talia Shaw made an amazing breakthrough on a life saving drug and is now on the run to save both herself and the formula. The only person she can trust to keep her safe is her brothers best friend and her long time crush. Bodyguard, Shane Landon, has been attracted to Talia since grade school but thought he wasn't the right man for her. Now that she is under his protection, he sees that she just might be the perfect fit for his hectic and dangerous life. Their fiery attraction becomes explosive as they spend more time together on the run. But they might not have the future they desire if they can't escape the ruthless men after them. I enjoyed this fast paced, thrilling romance. It kept me on the edge, completely engaged, and was totally satisfied.
