and the gentle lap of the water against our boat. Every moment with Chloe is amazing, but this one is special. My wife for the second time is soaking wet, wearing my groom shirt and smiling at me. My chest aches with all that I feel for this incredible woman.

The moment I get us back to shore, I frame her face in my hands and kiss her. “I love you, wife.”

“I love you, husband.”

And then we walk hand in hand back to the house, looking like two mutts who just took a swim, dripping wet and happy as can be. Mostly because we’re about to get very dirty getting clean, but also because of the love. Always the love underneath it all. She’s got my heart and I’ve got hers. Forever.

Don’t miss the next book in the series Rogue Beast, featuring Garrett in a fake relationship with very real chemistry!

Rogue Beast

Harper

Everyone thinks I’m tough as nails because I used to play a CEO on TV. I’m not. Unfortunately, it’s brought weird stalker men out of the woodwork, which is why I finally broke down and hired a bodyguard. Cut to: a beast of a man with striking aquamarine eyes shows up on the set of my new show. Insta-lust completely takes me by surprise. I’m talking a full head-to-toe rush of heat, fluttering stomach, every nerve ending alive.

This is a problem. I have a boyfriend, and this is supposed to be a professional relationship. I’m lusty as a teenager coming face-to-face with my crush. And then I realize—my crush is into it.

Garrett

I was visiting my sister-in-law on set when Harper Ellis invited me to her trailer. She’s a beauty, all right. A little shy and very sweet. We really connected, so I didn’t want to spoil the moment by admitting I wasn’t her bodyguard.

Her real guard shows up and I figure that’s the end of it. Turns out she’s got a boyfriend. But then they breakup and the fallout makes people feel sorry for her (the guy cheated on her in a public way). To save face she claims she was seeing me.

I don’t care if we’re faking a relationship for the good PR, the chemistry is real, and I start thinking we have a future. Until everything blows up in my face. Now I have to prove that we belong together.

Excerpt

Harper

I slow my pace as my new bodyguard heads toward me and suck in air. He’s a beast of a man. My mouth goes dry, my pulse racing. He’s tall, six feet plus, and bulky with muscles. His physique is shown off to perfection in a snug black T-shirt and faded jeans. His dark brown hair is clipped short, drawing attention to his sharp cheekbones and strong jaw. Black sunglasses hide his eyes. Tough. Hot. Sexy AF. Did not expect that.

I recover myself as he passes by my trailer, not knowing he missed it, and dash ahead to greet him, a professional smile pasted on my face to hide the raw lust. “Hi. Actually, this one is mine.” I gesture to the trailer. “Follow me, I’d like to chat before taping starts.” I go on ahead, unlocking the door, and head inside, holding the metal door open for him.

He doesn’t join me. Instead he pushes his sunglasses to the top of his head and just stares. His eyes are a striking aquamarine. My God. He could be in movies. My stomach does a crazy flip, heat flashing through my entire body. I’ve never had such a visceral reaction to a man on first sight. This could be a problem. I have to be professional, he’s in my employ. Also, I have a boyfriend. How could I forget Colton? He’s only been in England for three weeks filming a movie. I should call him.

“Please come in,” I say.

“You’re Harper Ellis.” His voice is deep and smooth like my favorite dark chocolate, giving me a similar jolt of pleasure. Better, if I’m being honest.

“Yes. Welcome.” It occurs to me he sounds a little surprised. I thought he knew who hired him, though I do look different today from the character I used to play. Amanda Boxer wore business suits and sensible pumps, but the biggest difference is my hair. I used to wear a short, straight-haired dark brown wig as Amanda because it was too much work for the show’s hairstylist to straighten my curly hair and caused too much damage to it in
