Rules of Engagement by Lynn Hagen

Lenny is convinced that his cousin was kidnapped and brainwashed by some rich guy. When he shows up at the mansion to save Winnie, Lenny runs into the bodyguard, Chavez Fernando. No way was Lenny sticking around. He hightails it back to Maple Grove, but Chavez follows him, telling Lenny that he’s in grave danger. Lenny learns firsthand that Chavez is telling truth when someone shoots him through his own window.

Chavez is stunned to learn Winnie’s cousin is his mate. When he gets a call from an old team member, Chavez is determined to keep Lenny out of harm’s way. They rent a safe house, but their troubles are just starting. A strange, oversized dog shows up, refusing to leave. One of Chavez’s team members is acting weird, and an assassin is sent to kill them all. Danger, mystery, and betrayal has Chavez on edge, but with a feisty mate at his side, Chavez is ready for whatever is thrown his way.
