Tempted by the Protector
The Connected Series, Book 3
By Barbara Winkes
She'll take one last job - to protect her.
SAOIRSE
I don’t owe my old boss Rory Flynn anything, but I can’t say no to protecting a woman in peril. The job is supposed to be easy: Locate Aria Bellini, make sure she’s okay, bring her home.
But nothing is ever as it seems, and I sure as hell didn’t expect to fall in love with her…
ARIA
I had to leave home, but my new freedom comes at a price, being on the run. It only gets better once this brave and enigmatic woman is by my side. So, she has secrets – doesn’t everyone?
She makes me dream about a future I didn’t think was possible. That’s dangerous, when my worst nightmare can still come true at any moment…
