A Hollywood princess mixing business and pleasure with my hot bodyguard is a headline I’ll gladly live up to. After a messy breakup, I promised myself—no more dating. Then my new bodyguard walks in. He’s nothing like the men in my world. He’s rugged and real. But I’m only a job to him. But the longer we’re forced together, the harder it gets to fight our feelings. He starts seeing the real me—not the woman plastered all over the tabloids. So, I make him an offer: a no strings attached relationship that will end as soon as his job is over. I just wasn’t prepared for him to know my secrets, to fall in love with him, and how hard it’d be when it was time to say goodbye.

My brother is an idiot. He won the lottery and invested all of his money in a run-down bowling alley. Since he's barely making it, he moved in with me. Great. Having him around the house isn't the worst thing in the world, but he does make a mess like nobody's business. My friends Zeke, Jessie, and Kayden keep me sane but there's only so much they can do. And it's definitely not the worst thing in the world when his old friend, Ryker, moves to town. The second I lay eyes on him, I'm hot under the collar. He makes my body burn in longing and freeze in desperation at the exact same time. When he talks, I don't listen to anything he says because I'm staring at that hard jaw and those kissable lips like I already own them. But he's a bed hopper. A playboy. A heartbreaker. I'm all down for some hot, sweaty, yummy sex even if it doesn't have a fairy tale ending. I've been down that road before. I know the drill. But with Ryker, it's different. Because I know I'll fall in love with him. For now, I'll steer clear of him and keep my hands to myself. It can't be that hard, right? Or can it?
