Someone is trying to kill her. It’s his job to make sure they don’t succeed.

As a news writer, Elliana Devereaux has made her share of enemies: Scam artists, drug dealers, self-proclaimed werewolves—the usual.

After an attempt on her life, Elliana's parents hire a police officer bodyguard to protect her. And not just any bodyguard. Nope. They hire her teenage crush, Mateo Alvarado. Handsome, tall, muscular, and way too cocky, Mateo.

He broke her heart once, so she’s determined to have nothing to do with him.

Avoiding Mateo becomes impossible when he shows up at her office threatening to cuff her if she doesn’t come with him.

Yeah, her coworkers totally won’t talk about that.

How long can Elliana keep Mateo at arm’s length when everything about her protector secretly draws her in?

If you like protective hero romance (who are also nice enough to introduce to Grandma) cop romance, or romantic suspense books with witty banter, you'll love this book! Snatch it up today!

A sweet romance

HEA novella.If you looking for a multilayered storyline this book isn’t for you. However, if you want a sweet, clean romance that is a quick read, than this book will deliver.

Fell-good romantic comedy with a bit of mystery

I love this author. It is always a delight to see a new book from her and I can trust all her books to be enjoyable. After a disappointing day, I read this book and this book actually made me laugh out loud sometimes and, just for that, I am giving all the stars that this site allows and, also, maybe I am a little biased since I am a fan of this author.

Well paced and good story line

I recommend this book. The characters were believable and likable. I liked that the book actually had a good plot that didn't collapse into just pages of the characters yearning for each other. The story line move along at a good pace and didn't add unnecessary and unbelievable material just to add pages. The dialogue was well done and witting. Definitely some funny moments between the characters and within the story line. Will definitely read more books from this author.

one of my favorites

I have read books from this author for the last 18 years. I enjoy this author so much I even like her news letters. I’ve read many of her books two or three times. This was delightful. So funny. She witty. Some of her books I prefer over others, but this was so well paced and easy to read. Loved it.

Enjoyable and suspenseful

Exciting story, solid characters, and HEA. I was a bit surprised at the bad guy, but it made sense. The wrap up focused more on the relationship between the H and h than on details about the would-be murderer and the story behind it, but overall I enjoyed the story and love relationship.
