Bücher der Reihe The Private Protectors Series

For former Army Ranger Billy Tripp, high-stakes international ops are just another day at the office. So why is his boss at Taylor Security busting his balls with a rinky-dink assignment? One dumb mistake and-bam-Billy's playing rent-a-cop at a Miami hot spot while providing security detail for some fancy necklace. Piece. Of. Cake. Except the job comes with one major distraction: the killer curves of the woman in charge. Hotel heiress Kristen Dante thrives on work and has little time for play. Or men like Billy-sexy, impulsive, and too charming for his own good. Kristen may be a boss in the boardroom, but her confidence in the bedroom is no match for Billy's swagger. This guy is a heartbreak waiting to happen. Better to let him finish his job and be on his way. Too bad Billy never backs down from a challenge. Beneath Kristen's insecurities, he sees a spark of desire even she can't deny. And her heart isn't the only thing in danger. When half a million dollars' worth of cars are stolen from the hotel, Kristen needs Billy's skills to catch a thief. But the investigation reveals a threat far more sinister than car theft...and that threat could cost them both their lives.

Gavin Sheppard can talk his way out of any situation. It's what makes him Taylor Security's top hostage negotiator. But he's never had a case this complicated, or with so much at stake. The victim? His boss's pregnant wife. The CEO won't risk his family by calling the cops, so Gavin's on his own. He'll take all the help he can get, even from the agency's smart, sexy tech expert. Janet Fink codes and hacks better than the big boys. Still, as the lone woman on a team driven by testosterone, she knows nothing ruins careers faster than getting personal. And she's already been too close to Gavin for comfort. Their last team-up ended in a mind-blowing kiss. One that can never happen again...and that she can't forget. As the kidnappers' demands grow, so does the heat between Gavin and Janet. They must put their skills to the test-and push aside their feelings-for a chance at success in a dangerous rescue.

She's the one temptation he didn't plan for. Jack Lynx has a strategy for just about everything, a talent that makes him well-suited to his V.P. job at Taylor Security. It's also why he's waiting at least one year after kicking his post-surgery painkiller habit to even look at a woman. Unfortunately, fellow yoga enthusiast Jillian Murdoch needs him to install a security system at her home, and that's a problem because he wants to look at her. He wants to do much more than that. Lynx's cravings for Jillian don't simply jeopardize his priorities-they threaten to become his worst addiction yet. He's the risk she's willing to take. Jillian is on the fast-track to her dream career in upper management at her pharmaceutical company... until a late-night office trip reveals a suspicious delivery with no paperwork. After a break-in at her home, she approaches the first person she thinks can help-Jack Lynx, the guy with a killer smile from yoga class who also happens to specialize in protection. Soon, she's in a situation she swore she'd never repeat: fighting her burning attraction to trouble-and losing. But Jillian needs to trust Jack more than ever. Thanks to discovering that one stray shipment, it isn't just her career that's in danger anymore...
