There’s no reason for a paleontologist to have a bodyguard. Unless you’re Dr. Rhea Blumetti—who accidentally caused an international incident in South America. As though it’s not bad enough being the baby of a family in the bodyguard business, now Finn Mabrey has been assigned as her permanent solo detail. Her crush for, oh, forever, now stuck protecting her ass from herself and the bad guys she ticked off. In the five years since they met, and their, uh, interesting first meeting, Finn has tried to keep his distance from Rhea. Too many years, too many scars. But Rhea is keeping secrets about what happened in Colombia, and Finn is determined to sort them out. She’s in over her head—he knows that much. He almost lost her once, and that will never happen again. Except neither of them expected to enjoy all the time they’re getting to spend one-on-one. And how that might be more complicated than international criminals coming after them.
