Protector by Penelope Bloom

The SEALs left me ruthless and hard … in more ways than one.

If you’re looking for a bodyguard, I’m the best there is. And no, I don’t sleep with clients—at least not while I’m on the clock.
Only one girl ever got more than a night out of me. Only one girl ever mattered. Makayl Pierson.
And I let her get away.
So when I’m offered a job as her bodyguard, how can I refuse?

I can’t stop thinking about having her again, taking her like I used to, and wondering if she still twirls her hair when she’s embarrassed…or if she still scrunches her nose when she wants me.
This job requires 24/7 surveillance, but I’m a professional. I can keep my head.

Even if I have to stand outside the door while she showers.
Even if I want nothing more than to take a fistful of her hair and…
F**k. She’d be safer if I walked away. But I let her go once before and I’m never making that mistake again.
