Ben and Christy have met before during assignments he has taken for her father, and both have noted their mutual attraction. Ben would be more worried about spending three weeks guarding her around-the-clock if she was anyone else. But, having seen the mansion she grew up in and knowing that Christy is a relationship-only woman, he knows that he is far out of her league. That he is emotionally empty after the death of his fiancé several years ago reinforces his belief that they will maintain a professional relationship. Still, Ben finds himself constantly thinking: why does he enjoy being with her so much? For the first time, Christy is leading an independent life. She is finally out from under her manipulative and cold mother’s thumb; she has broken her engagement to a lying and cheating man, and she has started a successful business as an event planner. When she finds out that yummy Ben is going to be her bodyguard, Christy believes that it is the perfect time to have her first wild affair. Christy has been terrified that she has inherited her mother’s frigidity, only to find out that it just takes the right man to spark passion in her. Ben definitely makes her hot. While he believes he can maintain his cool professionalism, Christy is determined to seduce him any way she can. The right dose of suspense is added by Craig Crosby, a nightclub owner who wants to date Christy; Jason Forrester, Christy’s bitter ex-fiancé, and Leanne Banks, a rival event planner jealous of Christy’s success. Ben’s protective instincts kick into overdrive when the threats escalate into actions against Christy. Flares of violent jealousy catch him off-guard as the twice-her-age Craig’s pursuit gets bolder by the minute. As the danger around them mounts, the hotter their desire burns for each other.
