He was sent to guard her bodyβ¦ he didnβt expect her to steal his heart.
Her sisterβs wedding was hardly the place to find a hook up, but after one look at friend-of-the-groom and special operative Josiah Grant, small-town Texas beauty Magnolia West immediately fell in lust. After a stunningly sensual night together, Maggie is prepared for the two of them to go their separate ways. After all, sheβs not a happily-ever-after kind of girl. But Josiahβand dangerβchange her plans.
Josiah isnβt looking for loveβ¦but Maggie rouses his body and stirs his heart like no other woman. Sheβs got a rocky romantic past, and a smart man would steer clear. But when the murder quotient in Kendall County rises and all signs point to a mysterious group nearby who have been harassing Maggieβs family, he canβt leave her unprotectedβespecially when he realizes heβs fallen hard for her.
As tension mounts and the menace closes in, Josiah will do anything to prove to Maggie that their love is realβ¦but can they stay alive long enough to share it?
