Ethan Ryan has arrived in LA to be a bodyguard for seven-
year-old child star Ashley Nicole Davis. Ethan and his
sister, Maggie, specialize in protecting children. Ethan
and his siblings are born of the famous Delgado family of
Texas, who possess the powers of the Curanderos -- Mexican
white witches. A curse has been placed on Ethan's father,
Brody Ryan, that he will never be a grandfather, leaving
Ethan and his siblings barren.
Ethan finds Ashley is a beautiful, talented child with a
mother who's dying of cancer. Melissa Davis has appointed
her daughter's tutor, Blythe Cooper, as Ashley's guardian.
Blythe loves Ashley and is trying to protect her from the
odd fan mail she is receiving with overtones of a
pedophile. Neither Blythe nor Ethan are remotely interested
in each other. As they work together to protect Ashley from
the threats and paparazzi, they deny the growing pull of
attraction to each other. Falling into bed for pure sexual
pleasure, Ethan and Blythe are surprised when they
experience more than just hot, mind-blowing sex.
An attempted kidnapping drives Ethan to sequester Blythe
and Ashley at the Delgado Ranch. When Melissa dies, she
makes Ashley promise to continue her acting contract and
attend an important function in LA. While Ash talks with
her fans, surrounded by the media and paparazzi, Ethan and
Blythe lose sight of her and separate to search for her. A
cell call coerces Blythe into meeting the kidnapper. Ethan
eventually learns they are both being held hostage and
realizes just how much they mean to him. Ethan hopes his
magic will help him before it's too late.
SAFE BY HIS SIDE is the second book of the Safekeepers
series. This novel is as equally exciting as the first and
highly recommended reading. Linda Conrad is
amazingly original in her plots and can also put together
an extremely hot, sexual reading experience. Ashley will
steal your heart even though it's devastating to learn all
that is asked of a child star. I loved this book without a
smidgeon of disappointment. Don't start reading until you
have time to finish it! Enchanting touch of witchery! I
can't wait for the rest of this series.
"Twinkle twinkle little star. I know where you
are."
Another threatening note sent to a beloved child
star. But this time, the stalker got inside the
house. Desperate to protect her young charge, guardian
Blythe Cooper is grateful for the tall, strong bodyguard
now standing sentinel at their door. Until Ethan Ryan
awakens feelings in Blythe she can't
acknowledge.
The former secret service agent turned
bodyguard makes it his mission to protect children. The
rules: never make it personal, and everyone walks away
alive. Amendment: somehow, someway, keep beautiful Blythe
and the little girl out of his heart—and safe by his side.
