Under His Watch by Victoria Light

Ryan
It’s been seven years since I left Bautista Synn on a dusty battlefield in the Middle East. He was a soldier then, and I was a photojournalist attached to his squad. Now we’re stuck together in a South American jungle. I needed a bodyguard and Bau was the only option I had.
I refuse to fall for him again. I’m too afraid of what might happen if I let myself go.
My birthparents didn’t want me. My adopted parents rejected who I am. Sometimes it’s easier to run away than get abandoned by the ones you care about. But when we find a lost baby in the jungle, I know it’s my mission to get him home.

Bautista
I didn’t expect to run into Ryan at the gala.
I didn’t expect he would try to hire me.
And I definitely didn’t think I would say yes. But there’s no way I would let him go to one of the most dangerous places in South America without my protection.

It’s just a job—I don’t give a damn about the man who ripped my heart out seven years ago.
But now Ryan isn’t the only one who needs my help. We’ve found a little baby boy left alone in the jungle, and if we’re to get him out alive, Ryan and I are going to need to work together.
But that doesn’t mean I have to like him. So why the hell is he still able to drive me wild?
