Beck
Hollywood Hitmen, Book 1
Maggie Marr
Release Date: September 20, 2016
Hot
Hollywood Nights… Box office breaker, Natalie Warner might be the Princess of
Tinseltown, but she’s a starlet with a bad attitude, a frightening past, and a stalker.
Former SEAL Beck Tatum has a mission and no patience for Hollywood bad girls. He
must protect Natalie and stay out of her bed–both missions seem nearly
impossible.
Natalie
Warner can’t ignore the risk any longer. A star on the rise, her latest film is
on track to be the biggest box office breaker of the summer but Natalie isn’t
safe. Someone is after her. Could it be her angry addict father or her mother
who always wanted to be a star herself? What about her ex-boyfriend who just
did time? The Studio refuses to ignore the threat and forces Natalie to take on
a bodyguard, but that bodyguard comes in the shape of rugged, irresistible Beck
Tatum, because whoever is after Natalie isn’t going to stop until someone makes
them.
A
question, wrapped in a riddle, Beck Tatum doesn’t know what part of the
government he worked for before he lost his memory or what exactly his mission
was. He can remember that he loved and that he lost that woman as well as his
memories on that final mission. Now with a second chance, he’s assigned to
protect a high-value asset. Rich and entitled but yet kind and vulnerable,
Natalie Warner isn’t the spoiled rich woman Beck expected. But falling for her
would put her life on the line and Beck isn’t about to lose anything else.
Beck welcomed darkness. The night
was a cloak of anonymity that provided him with a freedom the daylight never
did. When he chose to be, Beck was soundless in his movements. Swift and
stealthy under the cover of night, he could move before anyone knew of his
presence. You didn’t get nineteen confirmed kills without embracing silence.
He entered Natalie’s bedroom.
Moonlight glanced through the window and shone on her face. Her dark hair lay
like liquid night on a pillow. Those perfect lips barely parted. Her sleep was
peaceful. Restful. A thought . . . a memory . . . a moment from before, with
Marisol, flashed through Beck’s mind like lightning in a summer sky, then was
gone.
Natalie was tough. She might
appear like a sexy girly-girl, but with all the treachery she’d endured from
her family and friends, she’d developed a thick hide to survive and thrive.
Beck circled the room. Tested the
locks on the French doors that led to the balcony. Her room was on the second
floor, but if a person was determined they’d find a way to get inside. He
scanned the bathroom. Pretty damn swank. Next was the walk-in closet, which was
bigger than his last apartment and filled with more shit than one of those
fancy-ass high-end department stores.
He circled back to the bedroom and
stopped beside Natalie’s bed. She had no reason to trust Beck. All the people
in her life had failed her when she’d trusted them. Why would she expect
anything different from him?
Because Beck wouldn’t fail. Not
again. Not this time.
“What are you doing in my room?”
“My job.”
