I’m desperate, so I hire the meanest, most brutal-looking bodyguard I can find. But my grumpy savior makes me tingle all over… My ex-boyfriend has been threatening me, trying to bully me back. He even broke into my home last night and rifled through my stuff, so I’m freaked out when I scrape together my savings and hire a bodyguard to protect me. Axel is perfect for the job.

But as he spends his days and nights guarding me, Axel’s not at all how I thought he’d be. Underneath that scowl, he’s sweet. Possessive and hot. And soon I can’t stop craving his scarred hands on me… Need a big muscular protector? Spartan Shield Corp has got you covered. Alien, shifter, human—take your pick, we got it all.
