Sonia Anderson may be young, but the highly recommended bodyguard is well trained and expertly skilled. She’s more than up to the task of her new job, protecting Amy North. Of course, no employment psych evaluation could ever reveal the skeletons in Sonia’s painful past…or the secret scars born of a world out of her control. As James North’s longtime bodyguard, Matthew Carter misses nothing. He’s a man in complete command of his skills, his body, his heart. Since causing the death of his wife—a fellow ex-MI5 agent—his guilt keeps his emotions in check…until he finds a kindred spirit in Sonia. When two pained souls come together, they’ll either help each other heal…or hurt each other beyond repair.
