Pleasure Island by M. S. Parker

Liam: After serving four years in the army, I’m back home in Texas, but it hasn’t taken me long to see that I don’t belong here anymore. Luckily, I heard that my cousin, Jake King, is now living in New York City, so I’ll join him there, hoping to put the past behind me. And, unlike most other twenty-two-year-old guys, the one thing I’m NOT looking for is romance. In fact, I’m planning on being celibate for the foreseeable future.

Mila: I don’t need a bodyguard, and I certainly don’t want one, but my dad is sure that someone’s trying to hurt me. All I want is to focus on my practice and spend time with Grandma Millie at her beautiful resort. However, after meeting my bodyguard, I’m now thinking that going to Pleasure Island with him might not be such a bad deal after all.

Former soldier, Liam Finnegan and sex therapist Mila Golding are about as different as two people can be. After Liam is hired as Mila’s bodyguard, they fight the chemistry between them, but fate has other ideas. Will they be able to move beyond the baggage of their pasts, or will their biases prove to be their undoing?
