In an explosive novel from the bestselling author of Dangerous—hailed by Virna DePaul as “smooth, sexy, and suspenseful”—deception and desire intertwine as an undercover bodyguard gets too close to the woman he’s sworn to protect. Tabloid drama isn’t Katelyn Wade’s style. The illegitimate daughter of a notorious tycoon, Katelyn has worked hard to build a successful business on her own terms. … successful business on her own terms. She doesn’t put much stock in the rumors that she’s being targeted by someone with a vendetta against her father—until one of her employees at her restaurant turns up dead. Suddenly, she can’t trust anyone. Especially not her new bartender, a man with an instinct for trouble . . . and a body made for sin.
Katelyn has no idea that Thorne Hudson is being paid to protect her. He certainly never meant to seduce her. Crossing professional lines never ends well, especially when the slightest distraction could put both their lives at risk. But even Thorne’s military resolve, honed by years of training, is no match for Katelyn’s undeniable sex appeal. And after one taste of her lush lips pushes him past the edge of temptation, Thorne aches to tell her the truth—just as soon as he knows she’s safe from harm.

Being the daughter of a notorious tycoon definitely comes with it’s disadvantages, but Katelyn Wade has worked hard to separate herself from her father’s shadow, and all of his shady business dealings. Being his daughter has never been easy, because there is always someone trying to take him down, and their not above taking her down with him or using her to get to him, which occasionally means she gets caught up as collateral damage. This time though the stakes are a lot higher, and her life is in danger, she however, has heard it all before and isn’t too concerned, and passes on her father’s offer for protection. Her father can’t risk anything happening to her, so he goes behind her back and hires her a personnel bodyguard, who just so happens to be the same man she just hired as her new bartender at her resort.
Thorne Hudson is a professional bodyguard that has been hired to protect a business tycoon’s daughter, who just so happens to also be his new boss at a lakeside resort. When he found out that her current bartender went missing and she was in need of a replacement he figured this would be the best way to watch over her, without her knowing he was there to protect her from her father’s enemies. What he didn’t plan on though was the immediate connection they had or how much he would be attracted to her, and as much as he’d like to act on his feelings for her, he can’t because it would be unethical, and wrong on so many levels. The more time he spends with her though, the more guilty he feels about lying to her, and the more he defenses start to weaken…
