Protected Silence

The Azzaro's #2

by Jaide Harley

Arianna Manuel thought she got lucky when she was offered a job despite being at the lowest point in her life and on the verge of being kicked out of her apartment. Everything was good until she found laundered money and witnessed her sweet, loving, generous bosses commit murder. Now, scared and in shock, she’s told her bosses have high ranks in the Russian mob and her testimony could both save lives and put them behind bars where they can’t hurt anyone else. Problem is, the high-stakes trial is months away and her bosses now want her dead before she can testify.

Arianna is thrown into witness protection with the most unfriendly but attractive man on the planet as her bodyguard. Sworn to protect, but not speak, troubled Ian Windsor finds himself even more unwilling to participate in conversation than usual when it’s Arianna Manuel. He’s helplessly drawn to her but he was hired to protect her and he can’t let his attraction distract him when her life’s at stake.

The problem? With close quarters and all their time spent together, is it even possible to resist?
