The one man you never want to see again is the one assigned to keep you safe.
Being a realtor isn’t a dangerous job but that changes when someone starts breaking into houses and my colleague is attacked. Now, my family has hired the man who broke my heart to protect me.
But who is going to protect me from him?
Lindsey Marcus keeps his eyes connected to mine and takes a small step in my direction, moving closer. My skin tingles. I forget to breathe. There’s a fluttering in my chest and a spot farther below. “I won’t let anyone hurt you, Lindsey.” His voice is low and smooth, flowing over me like warm honey and I struggle to maintain the icy exterior. If I thought this was Marcus breaking, I was wrong. He’s breaking me and I hate it. I hate that he can still affect me after all this time. After all the moving on I thought I did. I don’t want to feel anything for him but if I have to then I’m going to make sure he feels something too. Letting myself feel every ounce of pain and anger this man has caused me, I sharpen my tongue. “Except you.”
