She needs a bodyguard, but not the one who refused her body nine years ago.
Sexy former Special Forces soldier? Devante Torrez.
High school crush who left her humiliated? Also Dev.
Last person she wants as her bodyguard? Yep...you guessed it.
Shelby Diamond has a stalker, and her Senator father enlists family friend and former Special Forces soldier, Devante Torrez, to be her protector. If she must have someone watch over her in close quarters, she'd prefer anyone other than the man who rejected her and never looked back—especially since she can't get the noble jerk out of her mind.
After a career ending injury forces him out of the military, Dev doesn't trust himself to keep her safe from the stalker, or himself, because he wants her as much now as he did when she offered her sixteen-year-old self to him on a silver platter—or a pink princess bed, as it were. When the stalker grows bolder and gets much too close for comfort, Dev is forced to take the job, and soon discovers saying no to Shelby in any shape or form is even harder than walking away from her all those years ago.
