I never asked for his protection. As a former prosecutor, death threats are a way of life. So when a killer I convicted is released on a technicality, I’m not worried. But my firm is, and they force me to accept a bodyguard I don’t want. Jason Katrakis. Hotheaded. Protective. Gorgeous. Even worse, he’s my big brother’s best friend, and the only man I’ve ever loved. Twelve years ago, I stupidly kissed him and he rejected me… hard. Now he’s back, as irresistible and infuriating as ever. But he still sees me as a little kid, his best friend’s little sister. And I still need to protect my heart. I’ve ignored him for the past decade. I can definitely get through two more weeks, right? Even if the one man I can’t have… is the one man I can’t forget.
