Kyle Yuen’s life is in danger and Lizzy Scott will stop at nothing to protect him.
He’s arrogant, annoying and completely irresistible. They’ll risk it all to keep each other safe even if it means walking away when the danger has passed.
Fans of Marie Force’s Fatal series or Laura Kaye’s Hard As It Gets, will love this romantic suspense series from Piper J. Drake and Carina Press.
Kyle Yeun didn’t start out bad and he doesn’t intend to end his life while on the wrong side of the law, either. His testimony to his former employer’s environmental misdeeds has earned him a protection detail compliments of the US government. But due to a dark international conspiracy Kyle was unaware of, his former employers have made ending his life a top priority. Realizing he needs more protection than the US Marshals can provide, he turns to Safeguard after seeing the beautiful, deadly Lizzy Scott in action.
One look at Kyle, and sniper Lizzy Scott knows this isn’t going to be an easy protection job. He’s arrogant, irritating and almost irresistible. Instead of being put off by her hardened attitude, Kyle seems to thrive off the challenge. And she’s slowly giving in to his charms.
After narrowly escaping the latest assassination attempt, Lizzy starts taking dangerous risks to keep him safe. But the last thing Kyle wants is another life ruined because of his actions. He found his redemption in Lizzy’s arms and he’ll risk everything to make sure they both make it out alive. As will she, even if it means walking away from him to keep him safe.
I love strong women and Isabelle proves herself to be one from the very first pages.
Kyle is in protective custody until he finishes testifying again his former employers. When Isabelle quickly dispenses of some goons sent after him. After doing some research he hires her as personal protection on top of the Marshall and local police already assigned to him.
The attacks on his life and the creative ways Isabelle gets them to safety had me smiling and holding my breath.
As they get to know each other as much as can be expected in the situation they are in, the attraction grows. The excerpt below holds one of my favorite scenes.
I have been to Seattle and I actually stayed in the hotel that provides the goldfish, visited Pikes Place Market and walked many of the streets described. I felt like I was back there as images popped into my brain as I read.
I had already fallen in love with this series and this latest addition just shows it will continue to grab your attention, draw you in and not let you go until the finish.
She stepped forward inside his guard and put her left foot behind his right. Seeing her coming forward, he instinctively tried to step back and get his guard back up. Nope.
Instead, she threw her right arm up between the two of them and quickly swung it around in an exterior loop to place his still-retracting arm into an under armpit lock. He lost his balance and toppled, taking her with him. Which was fine.She landed heavily on top of him, forcing grunts out of the both of them. Somehow, she wasn’t even going to mind the bruises. This was more fun than she’d had in a while.
