Former vigilante-for-hire Simon BarrÊ has one steadfast rule: stay far away from celebrities. Too bad Simonâs first assignment at Stark Security is to protect A-list actress Francesca Muratti. He canât even turn down the assignment, as that would be violating his second ruleânever fail a woman. Now he finds himself up-close-and-personal with a high-maintenance diva whose flash and sass drives him crazyâbut whose touch he undeniably craves.
The world might believe that Francesca Muratti leads a fairy tale life, but the truth is far darker. For years, sheâs kept a horrible secret about her best friendâs death. Now someone is threatening to kill Francesca if she doesnât reveal all. She needs protection, but thereâs no way sheâs going to tell the sexy Stark Security agent what she did or why sheâs being threatened. Which means that in order to survive and protect her secrets, Francesca must pull off the biggest acting job of her career: sheâs going to have to let Simon close, but not let him see her true heart.
