I will live by the code of conduct...but rules are meant to be broken.Speed junkie and bodyguard Lars Ivanov steps in to guard a famous race car driver just in time to rescue a beautiful French-American press agent from a bullet too. Guarding Lillian with his body is the easy part, but discovering who is out for her blood is another story. Personally, he thinks someone is just trying to shut the irritating woman up...and who knew that's as easy as kissing her?Lillian Delphine is only doing her job when she finds herself in the line of fire. Now she's got a big, grumpy-looking bodyguard claiming he's trying to keep her safe. What he means is ordering her around. While he's great at impersonating an impenetrable stone wall, she only sees an overbearing brute. But he does have very nice eyes. Occasionally he makes her laugh. And he's good at using that muscular body for more than blocking bullets.While Lars fights to save her, he realizes he's getting far too close to the woman. And Lillian would rather take her chances with the men who want her dead than spend one more minute with the infuriating, self-important and... Oh who is she kidding? The real dangers lie in losing her heart.
