Protecting Kallista by Annie Miller

Can two people with different backgrounds and goals, find something real while on a reality show?

Multi-millionaire Joey “Roo” Williams has spent the last fifteen years running from his family’s wealth and expectations. The former Special Forces Operative who served in both the Air Force and Army returns to his hometown and joins the elite security company, ECP. Nothing excites him more than taking on rescue missions across the globe. However, his latest assignment is enough to cause him to rethink his employment. Media and fashion icon Kallista Harper is the type of person he’s avoided most of his life; someone who seeks attention. She’s everything he hates, and yet he will be the one person who can keep her safe from a man seeking revenge…

Kallista Harlow has finally made a name for herself, only to leave herself open for blackmail and stalkers. Her family hires ECP to protect her from the man who has stalked her for years but is not escalating his threats. Except ECP knows only a portion of her trouble since she keeps the blackmail to herself; the more people who know could lead to her and her family’s public downfall.
Roo resents having to oversee the reality princess’ protection detail, and Kallista resents his unjustified prejudices, but they pull together when her stalker is identified and the blackmailer is caught. However, is Kallista free from danger, or are there more threats that no one expects?

Can Roo see the star for more than the public image she presents, and recognize the woman behind the persona for who she really is?
Can Kallista fight to keep her demons at bay, all the while fighting her attraction to the pompous former military giant who invades her thoughts?
