Author Peyton Matthews never expected the price of fame would come to this. But someone has broken into her house in an attempt to steal the highly anticipated book in her YA romance series. A crazed super-fan? Or something more sinister? Either way, she's on deadline and her publisher is taking no chances. Now she's got a bodyguard, a hotter-than-hell Navy SEAL who'll stay with her 24/7. Where she goes, he goes. All day, all night. And suddenly Peyton finds herself living out a romance plot. Noah Bradley is on medical leave from active duty. With orders to do nothing, he's about to lose his mind. A man can only play video games for so long. So, when his sister asks if he'd watch over a writer friend for a couple of weeks, Noah jumps at the chance to have something to do. No way did he expect the 'writer' to be a famous, walking-talking goddess who makes him more nervous than a room full of terrorists. But he soon realizes the quiet, sweet Peyton is everything he didn't know he wanted. And for once he wants to have a real relationship. If he can keep Peyton alive. When she's kidnapped by the would-be book thieves, Noah is racing against the clock to find her. And he's running out of time.
