She’s too young for him. Pregnant. And irresistible.
Bodyguard Sterling Vance’s job becomes personal when the daughter of a friend, Angelina McFee, admits she’s being stalked by her ex.Angelina is knocked up and oh yeah, temporarily without a place to live. Then her daddy’s seemingly conservative friend offers to help with her stalker problem…by moving her into his home so he can guard her and … into his home so he can guard her and her unborn baby.
With his body.
Only problem with that scenario? Angelina wants Sterling to use his body all right, but in a carnal fashion not suitable for his prim and proper lifestyle.
Until she messages him incognito on a dating site and discovers Sterling can get down and dirty in ways she never imagined. Tie optional.
But falling for him? That’s not optional at all.
Sterling wants to build a family with Angelina and longs to be a father to her baby. But the woman he loves is in danger and the secrets she’s keeping—both in and out of bed—may jeopardize both her and her child’s lives.
Author’s note: Shielding His Baby has a HEA, no cheating and no cliffhanger!
*Shielding His Baby was previously published as Proving His Worth by Cari Quinn through Samhain Publishing in 2014. This edition has a new cover and has been lightly re-edited.

Just too predictable
When i purchase a book I expect entertainment not a lot of porn.
I will never purchase a book by this author
Loved it.
The story itself was good, but ended up fast skimming page after page of sex to get to the story
Sterling is learning to become a security guard while working in a PI company and also runs the electronics in the business…soon he hopes to become a partner to Jax and Chase. He runs into a lifelong friend’s daughter who happens to be pregnant with no spouse. He is immediately drawn to her, even though she is eight years his junior. Angelina went out with a no-good wealthy boy who got her pregnant and wants nothing to do with her or the baby. He wants her to terminate the pregnancy! So, she took his money, went on vacation, and came back. Now, she has run into a friend of her father’s named Sterling Vance. He is like a proper Englishman! She ends up staying with him and having a relationship of sorts with him! He wants to make it permanent, but she is undecided. Things start happening…her ex comes around, Sterling and he fights, she makes friends with Sterling’s friends, her family finds out and all heck breaks loose, and someone is trying to kill her~ What next?
Great book!
This was such a sweet story. Angelina and Sterling were perfect for each other – ying to the yang. He was such a wonderful man to be willing take on a baby that wasn’t his. His reading of the book What to Expect When You are Expecting was too cute. He was the perfect soon to be father!!
Had all the right ingredients- great book!
Wish I would have read the reviews or a little more of the introduction. Too explicit for what I prefer to read.
A little twist of experience versus age.
The book was interesting but I found it difficult to accept these two as a couple. I really liked the end.
I did not finish – to much sex.
Liked this one as well as the first two in the series. Fun characters, Humor, some action and steamy pages thrown in.
I. Enjoyed it.
I am 52 pages into this book and there hasn’t been any adult conversation and absolutely no plot. Rarely do I not finish a book, But I can’t finish this one
Sterling Vance is one Alpha Male! He sees Angelina McFee after she has been away for a while and notices right away that something is up. Being an old family friend and one who already has a thing for her he is determined to butt in and make sure her life runs the way he thinks it should. This book has all the feel-goods that a book should have.
Angelina got knocked up by her scuzzy boyfriend. Pete even sent her to Europe for a “quiet” abortion. Strait laced Sterling sensed things amiss when Angie was calling BINGO & having difficulty with nausea. What could he do to relieve some of Angie’s stress? Would she accept his offer? Angie firmly maintained her independence & desired to prove her capability. Could she be honest sharing her goals? How did lies become a form of denial?
I really like a younger woman/older man book and this was no exception. Their miscommunication was a bit overboard at times but I loved how they were able to get it together and I loved how their chemistry was!
Oh God, I love Sterling and Angelina together! He’s the buttoned up (so she thinks), proper friend of her father who’s 8 years older than she who decides he’s going to put his newly acquired bodyguarding skills to use with her when she lets him know someone’s harassing her. So he moves her into his home and their never before acknowledged (or realized) attraction explodes at the close quarters contact.
She’s an almost 23 year old pregnant Master’s student, he’s a smart, proper businessman turned bodyguard who is in business with his two friends (Chase and Jax from Protecting His Rockstar and Guarding His Best Friend’s Sister). They haven’t formally made him a partner in their new business, but you just know that’s coming soon, especially after the events of Shielding His Baby. I loved seeing Sterling’s dirty side come out when he and Angelina were around each other, even when she didn’t realize to whom she was talking on the dating app. And I loved it even more when Ang came to the realization just how much she could trust him, fall for him.
Although Shielding His Baby is a standalone, the other two stories in this series are Chase and Jax’s stories, so if you are thinking of just picking Shielding His Baby up without reading them too, I’d advise you to 1-click them also, it will help make this whole world that much more complete. I think this one is my favorite so far. Sterling is so sweet and seemingly proper, but beneath that sweet outer layer, he’s a dirty, dirty man. He’s such a contrast to bold, sassy Angelina. Opposites attract can be a beautiful thing in the right author’s hands, and nobody can do a classic trope better than Taryn and Cari, so get to 1-clicking!
This is the third edition to the deuces wild series and Angelina McFee and Sterling Vance and wonderful together. Sterling is older than Ang he is good friends with her father but runs into her and realizes she needs help. He offers his PI and bodyguard assistance and help with a home for now while she looks for a new job and tries to get her life in order. But with secrets between them and the chemistry can there be more.
This is a great quick read by Taryn Quinn that I could not put down. I highly recommend this series.
