Book spotlight and excerpt: Guarding Candy Kane


Blurb:  Guarding Candy Kane

Nothing bad can happen in a place called Christmas Tyme, Colorado. Right?

Granted, Sean McGregor is there to bodyguard a recent heiress to the Kane Industries fortune. Not to mention there have been two previous attempts on her life.

For Sean, a former Recon Marine and ex-Secrect Service Agent this should be a no-brainer. Safely ensconced in a mountain chalet overlooking the picturesque town he can control the enviornmnt. Control the environment, control the mission.

But the Kane chalet is hiding dark secrets he can't control.


Guarding Candy Kane Excerpt:


Candace laid her head against his shoulder and snuggled close. “This is so beautiful. I’m glad we decided to ride home this way. If I lived here all the time I would only travel by sleigh in the winter. Sean, do you want to make the engagement real?”
“Whoa. That’s a quick change of subject.” He paused for a moment. “If you were not my client, Candace Samantha Kane, you couldn’t keep me away with a bazooka. But you are. So until that changes, personal involvement is out of the question. Whether you realize it or not, you are very vulnerable now.
“You just became an heiress, and someone is trying to kill you. Here I am, a man dedicated to keeping you safe, something you’ve never had in your life. It is natural you would be attracted to me. Not to mention I’m almost eight years your senior. Believe it or not, infatuations happen a lot with female clients from eight to eighty. Not so much with the male ones. They tend to become good friends.”
“There you go being logical again. Do you realize you just said no to a marriage proposal from one of the richest women on the North American continent? What’s wrong with you?”
She raised her head and kissed him soundly on the lips. She pulled away and patted his chest. “Okay, I can take no for an answer. But you should know better men than you have tried to resist the Candace Norton Kane charm machine and have failed miserably.”
“Who was the last male to succumb to your irresistible charm?”
“Admittedly, he was only six years old, but he swore his undying love before I left New York.”
Sean grinned and tucked the blanket up under her chin. “I can believe that after watching your magic with Teddy.”
