His assignment is to keep her alive.

If she doesn’t kill him first.

Van Price takes his bodyguard occupation very seriously…and wishes his new assignment did as well. Heiress Alexis Goddard doesn’t believe she needs Van’s protection, until she’s almost abducted in broad daylight. Whisking her away to a secluded location, Van dares trust no one, especially his reluctant client’s secretive family. But despite the beauty’s bad first impression, Van soon realizes Alexis is a woman who deserves his utmost protection. With the enemy getting closer, Van’s one and only goal is keeping the woman he cares about alive.
