Bodyguard of the Month

Special Agent Riley Kincaid was fearless when it came to hunting ruthless criminals. But he was clueless when it came to marriage. Even a pretend one. Now, faced with a gorgeous single mother who needed protection from the killer next door, Riley was forced to play the doting husband and loving father…then walk away when the danger had passed.

Claiming the key to everyone's survival meant having razor-sharp focus on the mission, Riley did everything he could not to be alone with his temporary wife.

Emma Clareborn banked everything she had on saving her family farm. But after one accident too many-to her and to her award-winning colt-it was time to hire a bodyguard.

Before long, the chances of remaining professional became a thing of the past…as did their chances of staying alive.

Sera Hudson didn't need an invitation to Blue Ridge; she was looking for an escape. The only surviving witness of the Blindfold Killer, Sera wanted to lay low, but when danger found her yet again, she had no choice but to turn to the handsome local sheriff. Logan may have patrolled a small town, but he had big-city instincts. The object of every woman's desire, he had a soft spot for newcomers and there was no chance he'd allow a murderer free rein over his charge. But he wasn't going to babysit Sera, either. He knew more about her than he let on, and their shared past held clues to the killer's identity. If they could fi nd common ground, then maybe, just maybe, Sera could fi nally stop running away and see that he was her reason to stay….
