Security expert and ex-Army Ranger John Knight broke the cardinal rule of being a bodyguard-don't get involved with the client. One torrid afternoon of hot sex with Topaz Jewel was all they had together before his job was done, and she's been avoiding him ever since. He's been hired to protect her once again, and this time, when the job is over, he's won't let her slip away. Topaz is an independent businesswoman with no time in her life for a permanent relationship, especially not one with a man like John, who's used to adrenaline rushes and danger. There's no denying their sexual attraction, but she's determined to play things smart. John doesn't take her home when the job is finished, but to an isolated cabin. It isn't every day that a bodyguard kidnaps his client, but he knows they're meant to be together-and he'll use their sizzling passion to prove it
