When secrets turn into lies…
Former DEA agent Angelo González’s final undercover operation exploded in a betrayal he’ll never forget or forgive. He’s moved on. As one of Atlanta’s Finest, providing personal security for the rich and famous, Angelo is living his best life—until he has to play fake boyfriend to one of their clients. Not just any client. A client who stirs something so sensually intense inside him, he’s not sure he can fake anything.
Singing sensation Zenobia Westfield’s troubled past and poor judgment, especially with men, nearly destroyed her life. Music saved her, but now her safety is in jeopardy, forcing her to seek personal security. Angelo is more than she expected. Dangerously sexy. Fearless. Attentive. The attraction sizzling between them is impossible to ignore, but her track record with men has her treading lightly.
When the threat against Zenobia escalates, Angelo will stop at nothing to protect her. But lies and treachery come to the forefront. Will another betrayal destroy their newfound love? Or will Angelo realize in time that Zenobia is a woman worth fighting for?
EXCERPT
“Why’d you bring me up here?” Zenobia asked, her voice quiet as
she looked at him shyly. She was like a puzzle that he so wanted to piece
together. How could a woman who sang with such emotion and power seem so timid
and unsure of herself? Then again, the way she fought those guys off the other
day proved that she was also a fighter.
Yep,
definitely a puzzle.
“If you don’t want to be a part of my security detail, I
understand. I don’t blame you. Why would you want to protect someone who stole
from you? Someone who ran off and didn’t look back?”
“You ran off because I told you to.” Angelo kept his voice as low
as hers. “With us taking your case, you’ll be expected to do whatever we tell
you to do.”
She
leaned back and frowned, looking as if she was about to argue. Angelo didn’t
give her a chance.
“Whatever we tell you to do is always for your own good. Everyone
who’ll be assigned to you will put your safety first. You’re not going to like
everything we’ll insist on, but—”
“So, does this mean you’re going to pretend to be my boyfriend?”
Angelo
inched closer, close enough to see her take a hard swallow. “Under one
condition.”
She
worried her bottom lip, that shyness that he’d seen earlier returning. “What
condition?”
He moved
in even closer, close enough to feel her shudder. “I need to see if you can
handle being close to me, because when I go undercover, I’m all in.” Without
giving her a chance to speak, or even process what he was saying, he cupped her
face between his hands and kissed her.
At first
the kiss was sweet, gentle, and cautious, but when she moaned into his mouth,
he couldn’t help but deepen the lip-lock. His tongue slid between her juicy
lips and he explored the inner recesses of her enchanting mouth. Testing.
Savoring. He’d only planned to get a little taste of her, see if there was any
way to pull off this boyfriend/girlfriend idea, but he was getting more than
expected. So much more.
His
hands slid down the sides of her body, grazing over every dip and curve until
they landed on her hips. When she whimpered and looped her arms around his
neck, it spurred him on. He pulled her flush against him, loving the feel of
her body against his.
Oh yeah. This was going to be one hell of an assignment. Angelo would make sure he kept her safe, and he planned to enjoy
every minute of being her man.
