Hide and Seek
Desiree Holt
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Anything
can happen when you let your guard down . . .
After
receiving a violent threat on the heels of her father’s disappearance from the
town of Arrowhead Bay, Devon Cole fears for her life—until Vigilance, a local
private security agency, steps in to shield her from danger. Although she isn’t
usually quick to surrender her freedom, she has no problem stripping her
defenses for her new sexy bodyguard . . .
Tortured
by the painful memory of lost love, Logan Malik is determined not to fall for a
client again. So when he’s tasked with watching over Devon day and night, he’s
focused on doing his job. Day is no problem, but as tensions rise at night,
nothing can protect them from giving in to unbridled passion . . .
He wasn’t as much shocked by his
physical reaction as by the fact that it happened at all. For a long time now,
he’d managed to keep a clamp on his sex drive and take it out only when
required, like taking aspirin for a headache.
“You’re a smart woman,” he
congratulated her. “I didn’t know if you’d play along with me.”
She inhaled an unsteady breath
and blew it out. “I took a chance. You could have been worse than they were.”
“Still, that shows brains and
quick thinking. Good for you.” He studied the interior of her car. “Wow. They
did a number with that window. Don’t move. There’s chunks and pebbles
everywhere.”
She stared at him, studying his
face. “You promise you aren’t the second wave? You know, like good cop, bad
cop? The bad guys threaten me and you come along and win my confidence by
helping me?”
“Nope. Scout’s honor.”
“I, uh, saw that you have a gun.”
“So did those jackasses. I wanted
them to see it.” He smiled at her. “But I only use it as part of my job.”
She caught her lower lip in her
teeth. “They just came at me out of nowhere and ran me off the road. Then they
boxed me in and smashed the window.”
“Later I’ll want all the details.
Right now let’s get you out of here.”
“Do you know who they are? Those
men?”
“No.” His voice hardened. “But I
know other garbage like them.”
She swallowed. “So who are you,
anyway?”
“Oh. Sorry.” He winked at her,
and the tension in her body visibly eased. “Logan Malik. Savior of women in
danger.”
“Devyn Cole.” She dug up a smile.
“Woman in danger who needed saving.”
