Assigned to the protection detail of United States Secretary of Interior Cara Hastings, US Marshal Mike Montgomery figured things couldn't get any duller. Nothing could be further from the truth. She's intelligent, compassionate, and funny in the most amusing ways. After months of watching her run around on those damn heels, she’s gotten under his skin like no other.

The grumpy Marshals eyes follow Cara everywhere she goes. And as much as she tries to deny it, having him close makes her feel safe. She just wished he didn’t hate her.

When the threats against Cara prove to be more than anyone expected, Mike will do anything, give anything, even his own life, to make sure she’s protected.
