When a paranoid-delusional stalker becomes determined to make trust fund heiress Kendra Bartells his at any cost, Kendra’s life quickly spirals dangerously out of control. Her controlling father, who micromanages every aspect of her life with an iron fist, forces a bodyguard on her, who she doesn’t want and deeply resents. But John Bartells is a force of nature; you can’t just tell him no!
As they run from the stalker in a desperate bid to flee the country, things become more complicated as the chemistry between Kendra and her bodyguard is off-the-charts insane, and feelings very quickly surface on both sides. Has Kendra finally found the storybook romance she’s always wanted but thought didn’t exist? Would it even matter, given the control her father exerts over her? How would they conquer the glaring socioeconomic disparity, nine-year age difference, and the fact that her father won’t allow anyone less than a fellow Ivy Leaguer from a respectable family to date his little girl?
These dilemmas cease to matter when Kendra’s stalker finally manages to abduct her. She must summon every ounce of strength, every molecule of moxie, and harness every bit of smarts her Ivy League education provided if she’s going to live through the nightmare and have a chance to stand up to her father and fight for the love she’s finally found.

I loved this book! It was action-packed, suspenseful, full of drama and adventure, but also had a touching love story and lots and lots of hot, steamy sex! The plot pulled me in and kept me hooked, and the characters were well-developed and likeable. It's definitely in my top ten favorite books of all time!
