Fake marriage? If that’s what it takes to get the job done.
Boone Wynton is one of the top bodyguards on the WEST Protection team and in the country. So taking a job to protect the wife of a billionaire oil tycoon seems like a breeze—until he learns he can’t get near the possessive man’s wife unless he’s married. His only option? A coworker who hates him. Maybe she is kind of pretty, and her lips drive him crazy—as long as she isn’t speaking.
Cyber-security guru Lauralee Sheldon has worked at WEST Protection all of a month—exactly long enough to learn she can’t stand Boone Wynton. The only way she’ll act as his fake wife is for the sake of protecting a vulnerable woman, and even then on one condition—that Boone never lays a hand on her, even if they are big and perfectly rough.
When fighting turns into foreplay, Boone changes the rules of the game, blurring the lines between real emotions and deception. And with dangers flying at them from all directions, it’s hard to know who to trust. Is it the man Lauralee never believed in?

They call her the Ice Queen…but he’s determined to thaw her.
Bodyguard Mathias Trace is more comfortable on the back of a horse than guarding people. But when his next job involves brainy woman on a hunt for treasure, he’s as frustrated as he is turned on. Her pretty, delicate features and tight curves might threaten to give him whiplash, but her chilly disposition is enough to freeze any man in his tracks.
All Madeline asks for is a smart, savvy bodyguard. What she gets is a man who walks with a permanent swagger and only takes the name of his horse seriously. But she must be the first one to locate a rare artifact steeped in an ancient conspiracy theory, and she needs his help instead of his thunderous looks…though they might actually be starting to turn her on.
Searching for an artifact believed to bring two soulmates together is dangerous work, but so are the barriers dissolving between them. As those walls crash, their hearts are exposed, which means the woman known as the Ice Queen is sure to walk. Not that Mathias will let her get far…

Discovering who is threatening Pippa becomes Ross’s number one priority. So does easing that fear he sees in her beautiful hazel eyes…and fighting to keep his hands off her tallies is a close second.
Ross fears he’s too distracted and missing something, while Pippa battles to keep her wits to fight for the medical discovery she believes in.

His to Shelter (The Guard, #1)
Em Petrova
Eighteen years is a long time to never forget...
Retired Navy SEAL Oswald “Oz” Morgon assembled an elite team of men with skills far surpassing those of ordinary bodyguards. To save and protect is a creed that goes beyond simply guarding their wards—it’s a way of life. And these guys are his heart and soul, his brothers…and the family he’ll never have. Now, his next call is to find the one woman who always had a grip on his heart. Eighteen years ago, he walked away from her. But she’s thrown back into his arms—and under his protection.
As a JAG Corps Officer, Rose Kilbourn never expected to be kidnapped for doing her job. And there’s only one man who can save her. Back in the day, she believed Oz was the man for her. Then he vanished, leaving her with a secret she can’t confide to another soul on Earth.
If Oz had chosen a different path, he might have Rose now. But a man who’s lied, cheated and killed to save those he guards doesn’t deserve the sweetness of a woman like Rose. Still, he can’t help but steal moments while he can, and Rose can’t bring herself to walk away from the happily ever after she always wanted. Now she must decide whether or not to share her secret before it’s too late. But she doesn’t want to lose the man she loves, the man who must protect her or die trying.

But his attempt to protect an innocent hostage goes south in a hurry, and soon he’s on the run with the quirky art curator who isn’t as quiet or compliant as he first thought.
As director of a museum, Violette Ashley is supposed to protect the fine art she curates, and she takes her job very seriously. She just never thought that would involve escaping art thieves or fleeing into the Alaskan wilderness with a man who looks more like a bad boy on the big screen than a protector. To make things worse, they can't see eye-to-eye...but their arguments get her more than hot under the collar.
With a plan to trap the art thieves in place, Beckett’s only focus is keeping Violette safe. But her methodical ways war against the gut instincts that drive him. Only one of them can be right…except when they’re between the sheets.

But all too soon his peace is shattered when a half-frozen and beautiful woman knocks on his door. What can he do but help?
While running blind into the snowy mountains wasn’t Freya Fuller’s best plan, luck is on her side when she ends up safe and sound with a smoking-hot guy and his loyal dog. She might be withholding secrets about her stalker situation to keep Hunt safely out of it, but she can’t hold anything back from his heated demands in between his plaid flannel sheets.
Spending a fairytale Christmas in the arms of a good woman has this confirmed bachelor believing in happily-ever-afters. But when the truth about who Freya’s running from is revealed, there’s no restraining Hunt from doing what he does best—searching and rescuing the only woman he can picture a life with.

His to Protect (The Guard, #3)
Em Petrova
Some things just can’t be ignored…and an attraction this powerful is one of them.
Bodyguard and special intelligence mastermind Bodhi North has been called a lot of things—pretty-boy, surfer dude and even hippie, but he considers himself more of a tech nerd than anything else. Sure, he can protect and save like the best in The Guard, but the missions affect him far too much for his peace of mind and he prefers to hide behind his screen. But when his boss gives him an ultimatum, North doesn’t take the easy way out.
After actor Sloane Sailor lands a controversial movie role, she never thought it would throw her into the running for an Oscar—or into the line of danger. It seems the spotlight of her movie also earned her a target on her back, and now she’s dodging a lot of hate. And who knew her new bodyguard would be so big, strong, hot AND smart too? It’s a little hard to keep her mind on the fact she’s in trouble, when North keeps distracting her with that little crease he gets between his eyes when he concentrates.
North never expects a mission to be simple, but learning that the alluring and intelligent Sloane has a foot in two piles of trouble couldn’t shock him more. Now it seems he’s saving her from a stalker as well as aiding in a search involving her lost sister. While Sloane battles a steamy attraction unlike anything she’s ever felt before, she can’t figure out which danger to fear more. But in the arms of her protector, she can hardly think of a better place to hide.

ICE agent Indika Devi let Apollo slip through her defenses, and she’s regretted it ever since. She mourned him for years, and now he thinks he can waltz right back into her life? No way. She’ll help him complete his latest mission, but she will not fall for him. Not again, anyway…
If Apollo wants a second chance at happily ever after, he needs to neutralize the terrorist threat and earn back Indika’s trust—and heart. Shouldn’t be terribly difficult for a man who managed to come back from the dead…right?

Stop the terrorist who is distributing military weapons to civilians. He knows he’ll succeed. Whether or not he’ll be able to keep his hands off the sexy CIA agent he’s partnered with…well, that remains to be seen.
Anastasy Kria spent years undercover, and Lach’s team blew it for her in less than a day. Now she’s stuck working with the cocky former SEAL who seems to delight in driving her crazy. So what if his intense stares and hot kisses rob her of rational thought? She has zero time for romance, especially with someone as impossible as him.
With more weapons hitting the streets every day, the stakes have never been higher. But if they call on every wicked instinct they have, Lach and Anastasy should come out of this in one piece. The only real question is if the same can be said for their hearts.
