Falling by Cali MacKay

I don’t know who thought it was a good idea to put me in charge of protecting an heiress and her gorgeous twenty-something year-old daughter. Yet here I am, doing my best to keep them alive and out of a hitman’s cross hairs. Unfortunately, the heiress refuses to listen to a damn word I say and treats her daughter, Isabelle, like shit.

While I hate to lose a client, it doesn’t break my heart when the heiress ignores my instructions and does something stupid to get herself killed. And when Isabelle begs me to keep her alive, there’s no way I can turn her down. Not when I haven’t been able to shake her from my thoughts from the moment I laid eyes on her.

In typical Blackthorn fashion, I’m falling for her fast and hard. But there’s still a killer on the loose, and now it’s not just her life that’s at stake, but my heart, and there’s a damn good chance I’m going to lose them both.

*** This story has a Happily Ever After for the couple and can be read as a stand alone, though there are small plot points that will continue in upcoming books. ***
