Bodyguard — Flora Ferrari

When I win the contract to protect an unknown VIP, I'm expecting a quick pile of cash for what amounts to making sure some pampered celebrity doesn't get sunburnt or eat too much lobster during one of their multi-million dollar weekends of excess.

Then she shows up.

Nobody told me it was going to be the President's daughter…the secret one he doesn't want anyone to know about.

And nobody told him I'm the one in charge of protecting her. Remember me, Mister President? I'm the guy you personally kicked off your Secret Service security detail for an infraction that I didn't commit.

If I decline the job now I'll never be able to work again.

But if I agree, I have to protect her...the girl who fell hard for me four years ago. I thought of her as a bratty little sister back then. She thought of me as her personal protector who she could cuddle up to whenever she wanted...no matter how inappropriate.

But she's not an eighteen-year-old kid anymore. She's twenty-two now, and she's grown up in more ways than one. I'm only supposed to keep an eye on her, but I can't stop staring. She's beyond beautiful and this bodyguard's got it bad for her.

I'm supposed to be protecting her, but who's going to protect me...from myself?

And when the bad guys do come a-knockin', I have to make the biggest choice of all. Do I follow my sworn oath to the country and protect the President of the United States, or the daughter he doesn't even want…but I do more than anything else in the world?

I'm dangerously close to losing my job, my reputation, and even my life. But a life without her is no life at all. I'll lay it all on the line to show the woman of my dreams that I'm a man who knows what he wants and that's only one thing…her.
