Dad hired Mr. Tall-Dark-and-Brooding to protect me. Dylan takes his job of playing my shadow a little too seriously. The walking wall of muscle sees me as an assignment, but his rare smiles and stolen kisses make me swoon. I go weak at the knees when he gets all possessive and jealous. Dylan is the last man I should be falling for. I'm meant to marry for business, but I'm falling for the man hired to protect me.

She gets under my skin, and when our forced closeness ignites passion, we agree it's only physical–no strings attached. The only way to protect Gemma from the stalker is by breaking protocol. Compromising the mission could cost me everything. For the first time, someone matters more than the job. And her name is Gemma.

Lovely bodyguard romance. This was a lovely story. Dylan and Gemma were both very likeable characters with great chemistry and heart. I found the suspense and intrigue created by the stalker added interest, and the two epilogues ended this short tale nicely.
