Gideon Carmichael I've never wanted love. I've got a Ma and two brothers who drive me crazy already. That's more than enough for one man to handle. But then, an old military buddy asks for help protecting a curvy country musician. Kenna Maxwell sings like an angel, looks like a goddess, and doesn't tolerate any of my crap. Her smart mouth drives me wild in a way nothing ever has. But someone is hunting this little sparrow, determined to snuff out her light. Hell will freeze over before I let that happen. I licked her. She's mine. Kenna Maxwell I know a thing or two about annoying, bossy men. My older brother is one. But Gideon Carmichael might just take the cake. He's been telling me what to do since I hired him. The only problem is that I don't hate it nearly as much as I should. I've been running from the thought of love since we lost my dad. But when this man touches me, I don't want to run anymore. Not from him or from whoever is stalking me in the dark. All I want is a future with this wild former Marine. I'm just terrified that choice might not be up to me . . . Contains mature themes.
