A brutally bearded man in his forties built like the Terminator is not a normal care package. Yet, that's exactly who shows up on my doorstep, courtesy of my mother.

All she told me on the phone was that Pyotr is my new bodyguard, which made no sense. I'm a regular law student. I don't need a bodyguard.

Pyotr looks fearsome and moves like a ninja with superpowers. Fortunately, he also has a dry sense of humor, unlimited patience, and the cooking prowess of a Russian grandmother. I couldn't have wished for a more useful housemate. He became my driver, my personal chef, and my emergency alarm clock.

But what if my mother is right? She usually is.
What if my safety depends on his ability to think of me as a client, nothing more?
I have to get it through my head that he's not Jeeves, or Alfred, or the genie of the lamp. He's a man sent to protect me from dangers I know nothing about.

All my life, I sensed that my parents were keeping secrets from me. I was always a good girl. I trusted that they had good reasons to keep me in the dark. Now it's time to grow up and turn on the light. Their secrets spilled into my life in the form of a man who shadows my every step.

A man who carries the burden of his own dark past.

A man who makes me want bad things.

We're supposed to have a professional relationship, but the more he's around, the more I want him. Keeping our distance gets harder. Lines get blurred.

Suddenly, my peaceful life is turned upside down by revelations about my family and the growing desire for a man who is all wrong for me. He can protect me from the dangers brought about by my parents. Who will protect me from him?

Enjoy this sweet, spicy and suspenseful slow-burn romance between a curvy younger woman and an older man with a dark past.

This book is an extended version of the now unpublished "My Big Bad Bodyguard".
