Guarded By the Marshal by Kennedy L. Mitchell

I will stop at nothing to protect her.
The moment she takes the stand I’m lost, drowning in the details of her story escaping an infamous cult’s compound. Every part of me screams to keep her safe from the men eager to kill her for testifying.
When I’m the next US marshal assigned to her protection detail, I know it’s a mistake to make it personal. But taking her to my hometown is my best bet of keeping her safe until the trial is over.
Forced together day and night, her innocence begs me to show her just how good the right touch can be.
Every stolen kiss is forbidden, putting my heart in danger for when she has to leave.
Each glance and unspoken word between us is a risk we shouldn’t take.
Fantasies of us together become my only thoughts.
She’s becoming my biggest weakness.

I knew better than to let my guard down.
Because the men she escaped from won’t stop until they have her back.
