Hard Target by Rhonda Laurel

Winning can be dangerous when the stakes are high.

When star quarterback Riley Sloane begins receiving anonymous threats, it couldn’t have happened at a worse time. His team has their sights set on the Super Bowl. He doesn’t have time for a stalker, besides it’s probably a prank. But when team owner Seth Blake gets wind of the situation, Riley ends up with a security detail for protection. Too bad Parker Carson is part of the plan. Since the day they first met, there’s been nothing but trouble between him and the beautiful PI. She’s bossy, as maddening as she is sexy, and she seems to hate his guts. But the more time they spend together, the more he wants to keep her safe. Too bad it’s her job to protect him and doesn’t appreciate anyone getting in her way. As Riley tries to keep his head in the game, he finds himself distracted by the beautiful Parker…and that could be hazardous for both of them.

Parker Carson isn’t thrilled about her latest assignment. She has to babysit the obnoxious quarterback Riley Sloane! So what if he’s handsome, charming, and a great football player? He’s also a conceited bad boy pain-in-the-neck who loves to push her buttons. But while protecting him, she begins to see the side of him he keeps hidden from the world. Only now the unknown threat to the quarterback is not nearly as dangerous as her growing feelings for Riley…
