Stolen English

The problem with a self-appointed bodyguard you have feelings for is that he’s right up close and personal every damn day — and when he looks like Evan Roark, he’s impossible to ignore.

It’s been almost ten years since Andrea escaped to a life she could never have imagined, and to a man she can only dream about. Evan has been her beacon — the man who’s shown her that men who are strong can also be safe. After almost a decade, she’s finally ready to take back her life and remember the woman inside her: the woman who wants, who needs, who loves, who craves … only he’s made it clear she can’t crave him.

Nine years ago, Evan asked his best friend Xavier for a favor — a way to keep Andrea safe. He keeps her close, but never touches. But when she paints a target on her back by filing for divorce, he’s forced to make a choice, and it’s her he has to protect. And now she’s calling his bluff, letting him know she’s ready to trust another man to hold her, to touch her, to love her… It’s killing him. He wants it to be him — but he can’t be both her lover and her protector. Because he knows what happens when he gets distracted. People get hurt.
