Rebel Guardian (Scarred Angels MC #1)
Kathryn Thomas

When gunfire in the middle of the night leads to her father in the hospital, Dakota Rose’s life falls apart. Now he’s concerned for her safety in case they come back for her – only that means Dakota’s about to get the last thing she wants…
And he’s the worst nightmare
At 6’2” and 200lbs of muscle, Adam Mendel sends a clear message: back off. This makes him a pro at his day job, but when his club Scarred Angels assigns him the job of protecting rich-girl Dakota Rose, he’s certain he’s about to become a glorified baby-sitter rather than high-profile security.
But it might just be a dream come true…
Adam is looking forward to the paycheck until he sees her and his heart stops; Dakota is already planning how to get away from this dangerously sexy man as fast as possible. These two might be from completely different worlds, but they’re about to learn a lesson in how much more there can be than what meets the eye…
EXCERPT
Dakota leaned back into the comfortable leather seats and closed her eyes for a moment. It was a perfect night, and it was then that she felt Adam’s hand on her cheek, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. The gesture was so intimate and so delicate; it sent shivers down Dakota’s spine.
Her eyes still closed, she leaned into his soft and gentle touch. He cupped her cheek with his hand and stroked her cheekbone with his thumb as Dakota let out a sigh. She finally opened her eyes and turned to look at Adam, at his dark eyes and strong jaw. Slowly he leaned over and placed his lips on hers. He kissed her gently, kissing her lips, her cheek, her jaw, before coming back to her mouth. He kissed her again, deeper this time sliding his tongue between her lips where it found hers and together they slid and glided along each other.
Dakota brought her hand up and ran it down Adam’s strong arm and then his chest. She could feel the bulge of his muscles underneath his shirt. His pectorals, and his abs were hard against her soft fingers. Adam’s hand left her thigh and rested it for a moment on her stomach before sneaking up and underneath her shirt. His fingers danced across her flat stomach and then he reached farther up to caress her breasts over the thin bra she was wearing, still kissing her all the while.
“Let’s get in the back,” she whispered.
And he nodded opening his door and walking around to hers and opening it up for her. She slid her feet out and stood up. Adam grabbed her by the arm and pulled her away from the car, closing the door and then pushing her back against the car to begin to kissing her neck. He started at her jaw and moved down, biting, sucking, and kissing his way towards the nape of her neck. He kissed her there, and she gasped, pushing herself into him. He stroked the nape of her neck with his tongue, bit down on it and she moaned for more.
