Breathless Escape — Elisabeth Naughton

There's just one cardinal rule when it comes to being a bodyguard: no matter how tempting it may be, never, ever get romantically involved with the person you're supposed to be protecting.

Aegis Security specialist Finn Tierney's new gig is nothing short of perfect. Too bad he can't stand it. Hired to protect supermodel Lauren Kauffman during her very public, very sexy photo shoot on the beach, Finn's itching for a serious assignment and the chance to get away from the hot bod who's set her sights set on him. Their mutual attraction has been brewing for some time, but he's got no use for the super wealthy and isn't about to become another diva's boy toy.
Finn's no-fun-at-work motto might get him booted out of Lauren's bed, but when danger strikes, she won't be able to shake him. And when Finn discovers things aren't what they seem and that Lauren''s more than a pretty face and smokin' body, all bets are off. Lauren Kauffman's about to take Finn for a ride he never saw coming. And there's no telling who will survive.

Even the most important rules sometimes have to be broken…
