Bodyguard
Dearest
By Alison Foster
Genre: Contemporary Romance, Romantic Suspense
Release Date: February 29, 2016
My name is Tris
Kane and I'm so done with college and this whole town and the leash my gangster
father wrapped around my life at birth.
Oh yeah, and let's
not forget Tanner Hayes, my father's all muscle watchdog who lives in my
shadow. He's my so-called bodyguard.
I don't need a
fucking bodyguard! And I hate his rugged deliciousness. Tanner barely ever
speaks, yet I can't stop thinking about him. He's always there.
It just makes me
want to scream.
“You stitched up
yourself?” I say, trying to grasp what I’ve just heard.
“No, an ER nurse
teleported to Big Bear to double-stitch this shit,” he says, taking me in his
arms.
“You might have
lost a lot of blood,” I say, “but I see you still have that same old lovely
attitude.”
“I need it to
survive you,” he says with a wink. He’s so fucking hot when he’s injured and
being a prick. I mean, really. Totally. Fucking. Edible.
“I need to clean
and re-bandage this before I get in the shower,” he says. “Don’t worry, Tris,
it’ll leave a scar but won’t cause any permanent damage.”
“Is this your
professional opinion?” I say, suddenly upset with him for having been so
reckless all his adult life.
“As a matter of
fact, yes.” he says. “Seen my share of warzone stitch-ups.”
I’m not sure he
realizes these things are not common to most people. If he weren’t hurt
already, I’d smack him in the head.
“I have a million
questions, Tanner,” I tell him, kissing his pecs. “But I don’t want to press.
You’ve been through a lot.”
He laughs. “A lot,
huh?”
“You know what I
mean.”
“Never mind that,”
he says. “I only have one question.”
“Just one? That’s a
big number for you. What is it?”
“Is my hearing
working? Did I hear you tell your father you love me?”
Oh, shit.
