Protected by the Wounded Soldier

Can she wear down the brooding, wounded hero’s walls to discover the devotion of his soft heart?

On a blustery cold winter day, my world turns upside down when I see a gun deal gone wrong. Now I have a killer breathing down my neck, determined to shut me up.

The police won’t put me under witness protection, but I’m not taking any chances. When I contact the Iron Forge Security Agency, I get the tall, dark, and silent Clay “Casper” Mayer assigned to my case.

He’s smart, skilled, deadly serious…and sexy. Very, very sexy.

I’m a professional and good at what I do. I can keep my feelings in check around a woman when she needs help.

But fiery Alexis “Lexi” D’Angelo tests the limits of my self-control. I can’t take my eyes off her every time we’re in the same room.

And now that we’re bunking down in a safe house, we’re together 24/7. Just the two of us in the wilderness.

I’m scarred from war and haunted by the ghosts of my past. She needs my protection, not my touch.

Will my strength hold out to resist her charm? Or will she curl around my sharp edges and soften me into the shape of a husband by the time all of this is over?
