She needs his protection...
But can he protect his heart?
Radio personality Kelly Bonner isn’t convinced she needs a bodyguard, especially one as intensely good-looking as Detective Donovan Walsh. Yet beneath Donovan’s tough-guy facade is a man struggling to raise his sister’s children. A man Kelly could care about...if he’d let her. Now she’ll have to find a way to convince her big, bad bodyguard that his family—and his heart—are safe in her hands.

“I didn’t realize you were famous...”
“Do you think I’m in danger? That this person would hurt me?”
It was a question Donovan wasn’t sure he could answer. He didn’t want to scare Kelly, but he didn’t want to lie to her either. “Any time someone is delusional, believes things that aren’t real, it’s hard to predict what they’ll do. We don’t know how unstable this guy is, so it’s probably best to assume he is capable of anything just to be safe.”
Kelly took a deep breath and let it out slowly. “Thank you,” she said.
“For what?”
“For helping to keep me safe. And for giving it to me straight instead of trying to scare me into doing what my uncle wants me to do.”
One day.
Donovan had known Kelly for all of one day, and yet he knew in his bones that nothing would stop him from keeping her safe.
When I was brainstorming ideas for another Grace Note Records story, I wanted to focus on a character connected to the music but not directly related to the making of it. I remembered how much I loved the disc jockey from Love Songs and Lullabies and how she had figured out Sawyer and Piper were meant for each other before they did. I decided to make Kelly the heroine, but who would be her hero?
Donovan is logical, rational. Feelings aren’t his thing. When he lets his feelings be in charge, he does things like get himself put on desk duty. He’s also the guardian for his niece and nephew, a job he doesn’t feel prepared to have. I love writing troubled teens and adorable littles, and Donovan got one of each.
Family plays a big part in this romance because our family is where we first learn about love and trust. Donovan and Kelly both carry some baggage from their pasts that shape how they view love and family. I hope you enjoy their roller-coaster ride to that HEA.
