She’s too young for him. Pregnant. And irresistible. Bodyguard Sterling Vance’s job becomes personal when the daughter of a friend, Angelina McFee, admits she’s being stalked by her ex. Angelina is knocked up and oh yeah, temporarily without a place to live. Then her daddy’s seemingly conservative friend offers to help with her stalker problem... by moving her into his home so he can guard her and her unborn baby. With his body. Only problem with that scenario? Angelina wants Sterling to use his body all right, but in a carnal fashion not suitable for his prim and proper lifestyle. Until she messages him incognito on a dating site and discovers Sterling can get down and dirty in ways she never imagined. Tie optional. But falling for him? That’s not optional at all. Sterling wants to build a family with Angelina and longs to be a father to her baby. But the woman he loves is in danger and the secrets she’s keeping—both in and out of bed—may jeopardize both her and her child’s lives.
