When the client becomes more than just the job, will the distraction be his undoing or her death sentence?Former Army Ranger Casey Weston had three rules he required all clients under his protection to follow: don’t go anywhere alone, do as he says, and don’t fall for him. Until Kate. She challenged his need for control the moment he stepped across the threshold of her Dallas townhome. One night … Dallas townhome. One night fateful changed it all, when the cartel followed through on their threat and Casey took a life to save hers.
Dr. Kate Wheeler didn’t want or need the stacked, broody bodyguard her father hired. It was one death threat, not a big deal—right? At first they hated each other, unable to find common ground. But the long days and nights and the ever-present threat changed her perception of the mysterious man, making it harder to fight the temptation with each heated glance and tender caress.
If Casey makes Kate the exception to his one and only rule—never fall for a client—can he still protect her from the insistent threat, or will their growing attraction put more than his job on the line?
More Than a Threat is a full-length romantic suspense novel that continues in the second book, More Than a Risk. This series is suggested for mature readers due to language, intimate scenes, and violence.

Thrilling story!
This story was beyond suspenseful and thrilling from beginning to end. I was on the edge of my seat the whole way through. The story just sucked me in and I couldn’t put it down.
Casey and Kate have amazing and very hot chemistry. Their interactions and banter kept me captivated, highly entertained and constantly fanning myself in order to cool off from the heat these two throw out.
Filled with action, suspense, drama, danger and a whole hell of a lot of very steamy moments, this story had it all and then some. I absolutely loved it and I can’t wait to see how things turn out.
MORE THAN A THREAT is the first instalment in Kennedy L Mitchell’s contemporary, adult MORE THAN A THREAT romantic suspense series focusing on Dr. Kate Wheeler, and former Special Forces soldier turned security specialist Casey Weston.
Told from first person perspective (Kate Wheeler) MORE THAN A THREAT follows in the aftermath of threats against our story line heroine. Kate’s father is an attorney in Dallas, and his latest case involving the Mexican cartel now finds our heroine in the direct line of fire, if her father does not drop the case. Believing his daughter need protection, Kate’s dad hires a personal bodyguard for Kate, a man who threatens all sorts of proprietary thoughts from our story line heroine. Enter former Special Forces soldier turned security specialist Casey Weston. What ensues is the distant but building relationship between Weston and Kate, and the potential fall-out as their relationship grows closer threatening the safety of everyone involved.
Kate Wheeler doesn’t want protection but our heroine is a little TSTL (too stupid to live) at times placing herself in danger without even knowing. From a possible work-place relationship, to nights out with friends, Kate finds herself on the receiving end of too many threats, threats that are about to push Weston out of her life. Casey Weston doesn’t do relationships but his heart wants something more from our story line heroine. Weston knows that Kate is an assignment, a client but their attraction to one –another is combustible and hot.
The relationship between Kate and Weston begins acrimoniously as Kate believes she is capable of looking after herself but on more than one occasion Kate is anything but prepared for the threats against her life. As Weston tries to keep his distance, the palpable sexual attraction is too hard to ignore. A Christmas vacation in Vail ends with our heroine’s life in the balance, and Weston walks without looking back. The $ex scenes are limited but sensual and passionate.
We are introduced to Kate’s co-workers: Eric and Meagan, both doctors in the ER; new trauma surgeon Dr. Austin Lockwood, as well as Kate’s father, and bodyguard Joe.
MORE THAN A THREAT is a character driven story of vengeance, threats and anger; power and control; family, relationships, friendships and love; desperation, revelations, passion and regret. The premise is dramatic and intense; the characters are energetic and edgy; the slow building romance is sensitive and intimate. MORE THAN A THREAT ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.
Oh I love Kennedy’s words. I knew I’d love this and I did.
Kate and weston had me hanging onto every word, I couldn’t put it down, the back and forth between them was amazing.
I don’t read bodyguard books very much, not because I don’t like them, I just dont so i was so excited to read this. Thier chemistry is palpable and when it finally happens…oh the heat!.
This book does finish on a cliffhanger but the next one is already out and I cant wait to devour it.
