Knight Errant (Southern Knights, #6)

Knight Errant by Marilyn Pappano

HOME...

It was the last place Nicholas Carlucci thought he'd see again, yet suddenly it was the only place he could go. He'd hoped to find some peace here--but in the eyes of his new neighbor, Lainie Farrell, he found a hint of something more. Something he dared not hope he'd ever see again ....

To solve the mystery of the man she'd been sent to protect, Lainie Farrell had I to stick to him like glue. But she wasn't supposed to get this close to Nick Carlucci--close enough to see his noble soul beneath his bitter exterior. And close enough to know that now she, too, was in danger. In more ways than one... Rated '2/5 - Behind closed doors' for steam/spice/heat level.
