About the book

Heated by the flush of success, Joley can have any man she wants. And there’s only one man who can give her what she really needs. The bodyguard: IlyaPrakenskii, cool, inscrutable, dangerously sexy and working in the shadow of his infamous reputation – that of a secret Russian hit man on the payroll of a notorious mobster. He’s the last man Joley should get close to, yet when her life is threatened on tour, she has nowhere left to turn. But in the seductive safety of Ilya’s embrace, is Joley really as secure as she imagines?
