The Resort (The Resort #1)
Tami Lund

Allison Bell is a charming twenty-eight year old late bloomer with a propensity to fall into trouble with alarming regularity. Lucky for her, it’s hard to find real trouble when one lives in a town where the winter population hovers around five hundred residents.
That is, until The Resort, an exclusive, high-end retreat for people who make more money per minute than Allison makes in a month, is built right next to her tiny hometown.
Carter James is the highly successful, highly sexy owner of the security firm that protects both The Resort and its patrons. Carter is a man of few words and little patience, and it takes almost no time for Allison to it stretch to the breaking point.
When Allison befriends Bree Jefferson, a wealthy socialite staying at The Resort who happens to be the target of an assassin, Carter finds himself forced to protect both women, while fighting his attraction to the oddly endearing Allison.
Allison isn’t a fan of dodging bullets or running from assassination attempts, even if each one lands her in Carter’s strong arms, snuggled next to his too-tempting body. How is a girl to resist?
Why would a girl want to?
