The last thing Eve Lewis wants is a badass bodyguard tattling on all her training problems. However, when the racetrack turns deadly he seems the perfect man--for everything. But emotionally wounded as he is, can he ever be anything more than a paid protector?

Winner Reader Views Award Best Romance

Private investigator Rick Talbot shuns polite society, preferring to keep horrific memories at bay by hunting the most hardened of criminals. Tracking down stolen tack at a California racetrack is a mind-numbing assignment that's way beneath his pay grade. Besides, he isn't burned out and he doesn't need a working vacation, no matter what his employer says.

Rookie trainer Eve Lewis has enough struggles coping with her boss's antagonistic wife and a track community that resents outsiders. Theft and sabotage have made riding impossible, and so far, none of her horses have even made it to the starting gate. The last thing she needs is a private investigator reporting on all her problems.

Yet Rick is tough, smart and drop-dead gorgeous and seems like the best man to help when the sabotage reveals sinister undertones. And as their attraction builds, she begins to believe he's the perfect man in every way. But can Rick conquer old demons...in time to save her life?
