Eli Richardson First of all, I didn't want a woman bodyguard. Well, not to guard me. She could do other things, but definitely not protect me. The problem with this and especially with her, is the fact that the stakes are too high. Not just for my life, but hers too. Brandi Cruise My job was to serve and protect a V.I.P. client. What he did on his personal time, was not my business, but when it came to his safety...I had to do what I had to do. Now, only if he understood that concept. I could do my job and not the one he seemed to want me for. This is a Xyla Turner novel, written by the USA Today Bestselling and award-winning author.
