US Navy SEAL Dante Raske is all about guarding his heart and serving his country, but now that he's busted his knee on a mission, he needs something to keep his mind busy. Playing bodyguard for a sexy little country starlet until he's cleared for duty? Just what the doctor ordered.

Chrissie Tate refuses to be a one-hit wonder. If she's going to take care of her family, she can't let herself get distracted—especially not by the hot as hell Navy SEAL hired to be her bodyguard. But when a crazed fan attacks, she changes her tune. She'll keep Dante around . . . if he agrees to teach her self-defense.

Except their close-contact lessons quickly become steamy bedroom sessions. And it's up to this Navy SEAL to save Chrissie's career—and his heart—before their explosive passion consumes them both . . .

Contains mature themes.
