Sarah Jane Walker was ready to kiss her inheritance goodbye once her greedy stepmother hired security expert Mick Chivers--aka the Hell-Raiser.

Yet even with the cell door practically slamming, Sarah's knees felt like jelly whenever she looked into Mick's old-soul eyes.

He's every woman's fantasy. She's every bodyguard's nightmare...

After all, if he has to guard her body, he might as well get to enjoy it, too...
