It was only one night. One night, and I was sure I’d never see her again. Fast forward six months and I’m staring into those same eyes. Only this time Delilah is my boss’s daughter. But the real kicker…she’s very much pregnant. Now my only goal is to stand by her, protect her, and make sure my new family is taken care of. But there’s a certain danger lurking in the shadows, threatening everything I hold dear. I won’t rest until my family is safe. I won’t stop until I’ve annihilated every threat. Delilah is mine. The child she’s carrying is mine…and I’ll be damned if anyone takes them away from me.

It was supposed to be a harmless blind date—but it ended in a one-night stand when Shayla up and left in the middle of the night without a wink or a wave. I didn’t think I’d see her again…until I walked into my office and met our new employee—none other than the curvy brunette who had rocked my world. The more she fights the attraction between us, the more determined I am to make her mine. Not even the ghosts from her past have the power to stop me from wanting her. There’s a threat hiding in the shadows, a danger whose only goal is to ruin Shayla. But I’ll go through hell and back to keep her safe from harm, to protect her. She’s mine...and not even the devil himself will take her from me.

I’ve spent the last several years building my company, having zero time for a social life. I preferred it that way. After the mess my ex-wife left me with, I have no interest in anything remotely close to a relationship. Until I meet my daughter’s new next-door neighbor. Harley is kind, beautiful, and she’s also an erotic romance writer. To any man, she’s the perfect package. To a gun-shy man like me, she’s a one-way road to disaster. Unfortunately for me, my daughter’s newfound friendship with Harley means I get to see more of her. And the more I see her, the more I want her. But my instincts are telling me there’s a danger lurking around her, following her, waiting for the right moment to strike. And the closer I get, the more I realize there’s only one way I’ll allow any threat to get near her… and that’s over my dead body.

I was only supposed to train with her and keep her safe, but one look at Becca “The Beast” McNeal and I knew there was something different about her. She doesn’t like me joining her team, not until I prove to her that I’m an asset to the team and am committed to keeping her safe. Once I get to really know her, I quickly learn that she’s a fighter in more ways than one. The girl has demons and the closer we get, the more I want to slay them for her. Becca makes me want things I never wanted, and I don’t know how to deal with it. I’ve always loved the ladies and they’ve always loved me, but commitment wasn’t my thing—not until her. Dalton Buckley is the most infuriating man I’ve ever met. He thinks he can replace my sparring partner, not a chance, but then there is something about him and I can see he’s committed to helping me succeed. I’ve also learned that he’s sweet, good with kids, and treats all the women in his life with such care—something I’ve never had. As things between us become serious, blasts from my past try to tear us apart, but one thing I’ve learned about Dalton is that he’s fiercely protective about the people in his life and he won’t stop until any threat made against me is neutralized. One security detail and our lives are changed forever.

I’ve always sworn off relationships, in my line of work its safer for me not to be distracted. Plus, it doesn’t help that I’ve watched each of my co-workers almost lose the women they love. I’m not going to do that to some poor woman. Of course, that’s until I do my buddy a favor, picking up his sister and niece from the airport. The moment I lay eyes on Millie Buckley and her daughter Joanna I’m in love. Except I resist the pull that’s there and do all I can to fight it. Marcus Johnson is the first man that has made my heart race in a long time. He’s sweet, kind, a little rough around the edges, and good to my daughter. I know he feels the same attraction I do, but he doesn’t act on it. We finally give into our feelings, and it is everything we both could’ve hoped for, but things aren’t that easy for us. Someone is watching our every move and danger lurks around us just waiting for the opportunity to strike, but Marcus will stop at nothing to protect us. The real question is, who will protect him?
