      UNDER THE BODYGUARD’S PROTECTION

      When Elle Philips witnesses an armed robbery while standing in line at the bank, she sets into motion a deadly game of cat and mouse. Mark Denton, a security contractor and former navy SEAL, also witnesses the robbery, and is hired by Elle’s father to keep his daughter safe following the incident. And while Denton’s desire to protect Elle goes beyond professional bounds, he cannot let personal desires cloud his judgment—judgment he’ll have to rely on when the robbers’ true motives are revealed...and Elle becomes a target in the ultimate plot of revenge.

      “Denton? What are you doing here?”

      “I’m escorting you to the debate.”

      Her eyes narrowed. “Escorting me to the debate?”

      “That’s right. In light of the recent threats against you, your father has hired me as your bodyguard. He didn’t mention it?”

      Her eyes narrowed further. “No, he did not. I’d say I don’t need a bodyguard, but I think we’d both know I was lying if I did.”

      Good, she knew the reality of the situation. That made his job somewhat easier.

      Senator Philips strode into the room. “Denton! Thanks for coming out at such short notice. I begged Elle to take a long vacation somewhere until all of this passed, but she refused.”

      “There’s a chance she wouldn’t be safe on vacation, either, Senator. We still need to figure out who we’re dealing with here, but my gut feeling is that these guys aren’t going to let anything stop them.”

      Elle shivered, her cool confidence leaving her gaze a moment, replaced with fear.
