Right Bride, WRONG GROOM UNDERCOVER… Protecting people was Ryan Fitzpatrick's business—but being Clea Mason's bodyguard was going to be pure pleasure. After all, ever since he'd first laid eyes on the cool, classy business executive, he hadn't been able to think about anything except her body…. AND—IF RYAN FITZPATRICK GETS HIS WAY—UNDER THE COVERS, TOO… Of course, she didn't think she needed protection. But he knew better, and pretending he was her husband was the only way to keep her safe. And if that meant getting up close and personal with the lady, well…it was a dirty job, but somebody had to do it…. RIGHT BRIDE, WRONG GROOM: Marrying Mr. Almost-Right is all wrong, especially when the perfect man is ready to sweep you into his arms.

Violet Abrams may have been a bridesmaid no less than seven times, but her wedding day was near—she could feel it. Until her longtime boyfriend left her for someone else. That’s just fine—she has her photography and a new project redesigning her sister’s bakery to keep her happy and fulfilled. Fast-forward to the day of his wedding, though, when Violet might have accidentally, totally not on purpose, started a fire. And... Officially the worst day ever. Firefighter Ford Maguire thought he’d seen it all. Until he’s called out because someone tried to set the local bakery on fire...with a wedding magazine? The little arsonist might be the cutest woman he’s ever seen, but he’s too career-focused to consider something serious. Still, Violet seems like a great person to help him navigate his upcoming “man of honor” duties in his best friend’s wedding. Pretty soon, not only is Violet giving him lessons on all things weddings, she’s helping him train his latest rescue-dog recruit puppies and weaving her way seamlessly into his lone-wolf lifestyle. But forever is the last thing on Ford’s mind, and if there’s one thing a perpetual bridesmaid knows, it’s the importance of a happily ever after.

Ryder St James has sworn to protect her, no matter the cost. Even if that means his own life. Yet, he never anticipated the steep price he'd pay. I take one look at Savannah Sinclair and remind myself she’s a job. I’m not here to seduce her, as tempting as those full lips and shapely hips are. I’m here to protect her. She’s a diva, if the media are right. They rarely are. She’ll soon learn that despite her wealth and fame I’m now in charge of her life. Every single minute of it. If she wants to stay alive. No one tells me what to do. Not my manager. Not the producers. Nor my controlling father. And certainly not this stupidly oversized, tattooed soldier who thinks he can run his smoldering blue eyes over the length of my body and order me around. He works for me. And I have a job to do. Ryder just needs to keep whoever wants to kill me away. Surely, he can do that from a distance so I can stop imagining him lying me flat on my back while I beg him to… He just needs to do his job.
