About this item

My contract says to protect her… my heart says to love her.

She’s my best friend’s younger sister,
and she has an obsessed stalker.
Of course when I’m asked to protect her,
my answer is yes.

But I’m not prepared for grown up Maya.

She has curves that I want to touch.
A smile that melts my wounded soul.
And eyes that tell a story of pain she should never have known.

I’m bound by duty and I will protect her.
And even though I’m fighting my own obsession,
I won’t let another man touch her.
No way.

But who’s going to save her from me?

    Another Great by Hope Ford. Intriguing, suspenseful, heart worthy, and hard to put down. I love reading her books...just wish she could write faster though.

    This was a quick, cute steamy love story. Loved the two main characters and how they just clicked. This was a nice “in between” book that can be read in a couple of hours

    I get second hand embarrassment pretty fast and this story had lots in it for me. From Maya (h) reading out loud to Legend (H) the love scenes she wrote, to them going to the adult shop together. Awkward! The book had really nothing to do with her stalker and was resolved in barely a paragraph. So, that was disappointing for me.

    H- older? Experienced

    h- 28, had 2 previous partners (several mentions of small details of those experiences)

    Safe read.

    I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

    So good. Nice short read from the awesome Hope Ford. It was just a cute sweet read with a military man...yumm....a writer...how fun, and innocence thrown in with a bit of Whisky Run. Oh yes!

    Super cute and fun novella! Loved Maya and Legend together. There’s a good kind of slow burn going on with some humorous moments, too! Sweet and spicy read. 4 stars, 3 spice emojis

    This was an excellent read. It had action, drama, suspense actually it had it all. Maya is an author who gets a stalker after signing books. Legend is one of the best security guards to look after her. Needing help with her book he simply does what it takes to help. Plus they get a happily ever after
