BLURB

A new, sexy standalone novel from New York Times Bestsellers, Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward…

 

The last thing I needed was a live-in bodyguard. And I definitely didn’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.

 

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

 

Wes knew exactly how to push my buttons. He was also infuriatingly protective. And smart. And funny. And thoughtful when he thought I wasn’t paying attention.  Little by little, the walls I’d built started to crack, and falling for the bodyguard became the most dangerous thing I’ve ever done. Because if my father found out, Wes wouldn’t just lose his job. He’d lose his life. 

 

Getting involved with him was reckless, yet I couldn’t find a way to stop it, no matter how hard I tried.  But while I was busy losing my heart, the man who took it was hiding a secret. 


And it turned out, the most dangerous man in my life wasn’t my father after all—it was the one who threatened to break my heart.

REVIEW
Reviewer: Kim
Rating: 4.5 Groupie Stars

This is another hit by the 2 queens. There’s nothing better than sitting down and reading and immersing yourself in one of there’s books. I couldn’t put this down and I happily read the day away. 
The story like always has a lot of emotion in it and the journey throughout it for Juliette and Wes was not simple or plane sailing. There was a lot of complexity in there story. 
I loved the fact that both of the characters were forever butting heads and Juilette is constantly trying to get away from Wes but then at the same time we slowly got to see how Juliette started to open up Wes up and see his more vulnerable self. They had amazing chemistry and great banter. The story though was high tension but the more and more time they spent together the more actual feelings was developed. 
Another hit by these 2 authors.
