"This is Asher Adams" her father said. "He's going to be your bodyguard from now on.

Kimberly's eyes widened in disbelief. The water she had just swallowed went down the wrong pipe and she began to choke. She started to cough and it took some seconds to finally calm her down.

Great. Just great. She thought. Just when she thought she had the annoying man out of her life for good. 

She turned her attention to her father. "I'm sorry dad, what did you just say?"

Now, not only is she stuck with a big hunk of a man following her around and watching her every move...

But one she finds so damn attractive....

HER BODYGUARD

His face remained carved in stone while his eyes burned with dark fury. He glared at her for a slow count of five and she became a little concerned that he would actually touch her, that he would manacle her arm with that big hand of his and drag her bodily from the premises. Sparks chased themselves beneath her skin at the very idea. 


But he had iron control obviously, because in the end, he only turned sharply on his heel and went where she’d told him to go. 


It was all he was allowed to do, all she had permitted him to do. 


As she danced with another cowboy. And another after that. Frustration built. He wanted to grab her and throw her over his shoulder and carry her out of there bodily. But he could never do any such thing. She was his boss daughter and he was there to protect her. And that meant, when it came right down to his will versus hers, she held all the cards.
