It was just supposed to be a one-night stand. I couldn’t guess that she would be my best friend’s daughter. And my new stubborn client. Our brief and mind-blowing encounter was supposed to be a goodbye. Being a single parent was challenging enough. I didn’t need to be distracted by someone 20 years younger. But fate's twisted humor unfolded as I agreed to be a stay-in bodyguard for my buddy's kid, only to realize it was the very woman I was trying to avoid. She was more than the horrible rumors and the tabloid gossip. She was a diamond in the rough—intelligent and the sassiest woman I know. Our chemistry made me feral but I knew I had to stop this illicit affair. Except I always had the desire for the unattainable. I knew I wanted her. I would risk ruining my friendship with her dad. And I would even look at death straight in the eye a thousand times to protect her. But the question is, would she want me to?
