Danger doesn’t always smack you in the face; sometimes, it sneaks up behind you when you’re not looking. That was true for actress Matilda Carson, at least. She had no idea that behind the smiley-faced notes she’d been receiving was a disturbed man courting infamy until it was too late. While her attacker goes on trial, Matilda retreats to her home to heal, hiding away from the media circus surrounding her. Two years after the dust settles, and with other scandals stealing the headlines, she’s finally ready to put herself back out there. But when a smiley-faced note turns up at her home, a sense of Deja Vu has Matilda calling in Price Security for protection. When Aiden Church volunteers to guard Matilda, he’s expecting to meet a pampered princess who is too stubborn to listen to reason. And for once, he’s happy to be wrong. While the smiley-faced notes mark the start of yet another twisted game, a love story unfolds amid the chaos of car chases and gunfights that spill over from the movie set into real life. Can a small-town hero navigate the dark side of fame to outsmart the stalker, or will this copycat finish what his predecessor started? And all while the whole world watches on with bated breath. Author’s note: The Tempest Series is set in the same world as my Underestimated series. However, only Cautious slips into the Underestimated timeline; the rest of the series will run on its own timeline, parallel to the same world stories. The Tempest Series can be read as a complete stand-alone series, but if you’d like to read it in conjunction with the other books set in this world, I’ve included the reading order Queen Of CarnageThe Princess Of ChaosRicochetCautiousThe Reign of KingsThe Heir of ShadowsThe Crown of FoolsThe Mercy of DemonsTainted OathsTwisted VowsToxic WhispersDulceReeseThe Throne of LiesLollieSugarThe Brutal StrikeThe Harsh BiteThe Echo of ViolenceThe Wicked StingThe Lethal TouchRest In PiecesThe Good girlThe First Cut
