“There’s plenty of space at the ranch,” Brodie continued in that deep rumble of his. “So you don’t have to worry about me...getting too close.”
Just like that, her eyes were back on him.
A muscle flexed in his jaw. “I want you safe. I can keep my hands off you.”
She’d never thought otherwise.
“Come with me,” Brodie said. “Trust me to protect you.”
Brodie McGuire. The years had carved him into an even more dangerous, powerful man. He was big, easily over six foot three, with wide shoulders and a solid build that told her the guy was definitely no stranger to a gym.
He was handsome, almost ridiculously so with that hard, square jaw, that perfect blade of a nose and his green eyes. And the man had dimples. Dimples. They flashed when he smiled, and that smile of his made her stomach flip.
He was a threat to her, in so many ways, but he was also the one man who’d never let her down. The one man who could actually keep her alive.
Even if he didn’t know all her secrets.
“Come with me,” he said again.
She nodded.

JENNIFER WESLEY WAS making a deadly mistake. She thought that an ex-lover could protect her?
She was wrong.
He had her in his sights, and he wasn’t about to let her vanish.
There would be no escape. No mercy, either.
He watched as Jennifer and Brodie McGuire left the run-down hotel. Brodie was right beside Jennifer for every step she took, his body tense, protective.
Jennifer had certainly blinded that man to her true nature.
Brodie needed to be more careful. If he didn’t watch it, the ex-SEAL might just find himself targeted, too.
You don’t want to die for her.
Because Brodie didn’t even really know the woman he was protecting. She wasn’t some sweet, lost innocent.
Jennifer Wesley was a cold-blooded killer.
