Yet when Rosie is in great danger, his protective nature comes out full force and Rosie finds herself living under the same roof as her boss.  

Soon, the line between employer and employee blurs and simmering desires grow to a burning passion. Yet a secret casts a shadow over their happiness, threatening to separate the two apart... Not to mention the mad man who seemed dead set on killing her.

See You Again (Rosebound #1)

Her body was stiff and tense like a rock as she waited for it to open.

Beside her sat Cedric. He found the tight rock of her fist on the table in front of them and tried to ease it open. Her fingers weren't budging.

"Rosie," he whispered, dipping his head to bring his mouth close to her ears. "You don't have to do this."

She clenched her jaw. And shook her head.

"I have to," she muttered. "I'm sorry."

"I can't," she swallowed the lump in her throat and blinked a few times. "I'm sorry but I just can't."

His arm wrapped around her still-tense body and pulled her close to his side. "Then try to relax, love."

She tried. Oh, she tried but she couldn't.

His arm got tight and he kissed the side of her head.
