Guard Dog (Guard Dog #1)
Katt Andrews
Ami - After a betrayal that nearly ended my romance writing career, the last thing I need is more drama. But one dinner with a super-fan lands me in the middle of a kidnapping attempt—and on the hit list of a ruthless cartel. Now I’m stuck inside a crime family’s compound, “for my own protection,” with nothing but my sarcasm—and a reluctant agreement to help the crime lord’s daughter write her debut novel—an alien Regency romance (yes, that’s a thing).
And the worst part? Marco Cedillo. He’s a tattooed ex-Marine bodyguard, and way too brooding for my sanity. He calls me stubborn, but I think he’s the real problem—too protective, too handsome, and too tempting.
The more time we spend together, the more I see he’s not just a smirky scowl with muscles. He’s haunted by something that makes him believe he’s too dangerous for love. And the more he pushes me away, the more I want to push back.
Marco - Keeping Maria Sandoval—and her guest—safe should be simple. That’s my job. That’s all it’s supposed to be.
But Ami Zadegan is sharp, stubborn, and infuriating—and way too good at getting under my skin.
I can’t afford distractions. And I can’t afford mistakes—mistakes cost lives. I can’t let that happen again.
But every time I look at her, my control slips. The way she stands up to me, the way she makes me feel like I’m more than the sum of my scars—it makes me want to break every rule.
And when enemies close in and secrets from the past threaten everything I’ve sworn to protect, I’ll have to decide if the risk of loving her is worth the danger.
