      The Berringer Bodyguards File #2

      Name: Ely Berringer

      Trademarks: Clean-cut former marine who’s all muscle...and all hotness!

      Biggest weakness: This good boy likes a bad, bad girl....

      Bodyguard Ely Berringer’s job was simple: find the missing woman. But there’s nothing simple about smokin’-hot tattoo artist Lydia Hamilton...or the fact that they once shared a wickedly sexy night together. And once he finds her in Montana, he realizes that one night with Lydia was definitely not enough!

But lately there’s been a rash of nasty incidents—break-ins, damaged property...just enough to convince Ely that he needs to stick around. And if that means some no-strings-attached naughty nights? Well, he’s all hers...even if it is only for the holidays!

      Following her instincts, she dropped the towel, but left the sheer curtain drawn. His eyes seemed to stare right into hers, even through the curtain.

      Slowly lifting her leg, she planted her toes on the bottom windowsill, a shiver running through her. She reached to get some of the spicy-scented lotion, bending forward to work it up her leg, over her thigh.

      She let her head fall back as she applied lotion to her neck and throat, and then finally to her breasts, lingering there.

      Then the slam of a door.

      Something dropped to the floor.

      Heavy boot steps on the stairs.

      The next thing she knew, Ely was there, standing in the doorway of her bedroom.

      His eyes were hot, watching her, hunger etched into every contour of his face.…
