The Bodyguard by Penelope Bloom

I thought I’d never see Makayla Pierson again.
Then I was assigned to protect her.
One week. No touching. Absolutely no sex.
Just seven days of restraint…
How hard can that be?

When I walked away from Makayla ten years ago, I swore I’d never look back. To be sure she didn’t come after me, I told a lie that still haunts me. But it was the only way to keep where she was safe at the time: as far away from me as possible.
Protecting Makayla is all I’ve ever cared about. No matter the cost.
So when chance leads her agent to hire me as her bodyguard, how can I refuse?
She’s mine for a week now, and I’m not going to let anything happen to her. Even if she seems intent on making my life a living hell. She always did know how to hold a grudge.
She doesn’t have to like me, she just has to do what I say and I’ll get her through the week unscathed.
There’s only one thing I’m not sure I can protect her from.
Me.
Ten years is a hell of a long time, and I’ve regretted the way I had to leave every day we’ve been apart and the wasted time I’ve spent without her. It’s too late to fix all that. Way too late, no matter how bad I might want to kiss those full lips and spear my fingers through her hair just one more time.
Right now I just need to focus on the job. Keep Makayla safe, and keep my hands to myself.
It’s just a week, right?
