Muscle for Hire

Aslin Rhodes spent years as an SAS commando and then personal bodyguard. But his new career as a military consultant on a blockbuster film has put him slap bang in the middle of Hollyweird, where an American martial arts expert no taller than his chin promptly puts him on his arse.

Rowan Hemsworth is determined to protect herself and those she loves, especially her little brother as he navigates his newfound fame, but nothing prepared her for the British mountain of muscle who makes her knees go uncharacteristically weak.

When a string of "accidents" convinces Aslin that Rowan—and not her brother—is the target, things get tricky. Stubborn Rowan doesn't believe she needs his protection, and keeping her close becomes his top priority. And there's nowhere closer than right in his arms.
