Romance Suspense | Romance Series

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.

SUMMARY

"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.
