"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?"

------------------

Kimberly Blake, daughter and only child of billionaire, Hillary Blake, loves her freedom and independence. She hates being told what to do more than anything.

But all that freedom becomes a thing of the past when she gets kidnapped and her father hires private investigator and bodyguard, Asher Adams to rescue her.

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

“Vanessa! Please come in here.” Samson’s voice was sharp. 


She flinched. Would he lash out at her? Hit her? Bite her? Kill her? 


“This is taking way too much time. Could you please stay back and watch her while I and the guys pay Saunders a visit” Samson asked. 


Vanessa nodded. "Yeah sure. No problem. 


" Thank you" Samson replied, and after one glance in Isabella's direction, he bolted from the room. 


Isabella's eyes followed him before she looked back at Vanessa who casually sat on the wide bed as if nothing had happened. 


“He wanted to kill me, didn’t he?” Isabella asked Vanessa. "If I try to leave then he's going to kill me, isn't he? That's why he doesn't want me to leave. He thinks I'm going to tell the whole world what he is... That he is a vampire" 


Vanessa nodded. “Yes, he will” she replied, and grinned devilishly at Isabella. "He will compel you and bite you and drain you of every drop of blood in your body"
