Actress Lauren Marie Woods just
witnessed her agent being murdered. Now his murderer wants her dead
and the police want to pin a murder rap on her. Lauren needs the kind
of help only the Guardian Agency can provide.
Protector Mike Stone is jaded when it
comes to actresses and to Hollywood. But one thing is certain, Lauren
Marie Woods is going to end up dead without his help. The only
question is whether the former Navy SEAL can guard his heart from the
beautiful actress.
Lauren will have to give the
performance of her life to survive and, more importantly, she has to
trust the man who makes her want far more than just his protection.
When there is no one else to turn to
and no one else to keep you safe, a Dangerous Protector is the man
you want for the job.

Excerpt:
Wilshire Boulevard Police Precinct.
“That’s it?” As exhausted and
emotionally weary as Lauren was, she somehow managed to feel stunned
at the detective’s seeming indifference. “I’ve spent the last
three hours explaining to you how two men killed Desmond and probably
the woman in his office. I’ve given descriptions to your sketch
artist. I’ve cooperated with your every request, including having
my hands checked for gunpowder residue. Now you expect me to just
walk out of here as if two killers aren’t looking for me, and to be
available in case you need me for further questioning?”
This was insane!
Detective Randolph Treadwell shrugged.
“If anyone gives you any trouble—“ he nodded toward the
business card she held “—you give me a call.”
“The killers saw me and chased me,”
she repeated, anger and fear churning wildly inside her. “They know
who I am. How long do you think it will take them to find where I
live?”
Treadwell leaned back from the
interview table. He’d long ago loosened his tie. The off-the-rack
suit was rumpled from his long day. Everything about the middle-aged
man screamed impatience. He was ready to go home and Lauren was
standing squarely in his way.
“Look, Miss Woods, you have my word
we’re going to do all we can to find your boyfriend’s killer. But
the fact of the matter is, unlike TV cops, our resources aren’t
unlimited. If you need us, you call and we’ll be there. That’s
the best I can do at this point.”
Lauren stood. “Fine.”
Treadwell pushed back his chair and
stood as well. “If you recall anything else, you be sure to let me
know. And don’t leave town. We may need to question you again.”
“Wait.” Lauren shook her head.
“What about the woman? Who was she?”
He scratched his head. “I guess I
forgot to mention that the only body we found was your boyfriend’s.”
“That’s impossible. The man who
ordered Desmond’s murder, ordered his thug to shut her up.” Had
there been a third gunshot? When she’d started to run she hadn’t
looked back. Was it possible they hadn’t killed her? The bottom
dropped out of Lauren’s stomach. Had she left that woman to fend
for herself?
Treadwell shrugged. “We found no
indication that anyone else was in that office.”
Lauren gritted her teeth to prevent
ranting at the man. He’d made her relationship with Desmond sound
sleazy and managed quite well to make her feel like the scum of the
earth. Now he was accusing her of lying. She got the distinct
impression he’d saved this bombshell just to get her reaction. “Are
we done here?”
“For now. Officer Cooper will see you
to your car.”
