Will he protect her... Evelyn "Eve" Swartz thought running was the safest option left after her life was threatened for witnessing a brutal crime. Surviving with limited cash was a short-lived trip that landed her on Chet's doorstep. Now she has to put her trust in a group of strangers that come as highly recommended bodyguards. She appreciates everything Chet's doing for her and can't help but begin to fall for the shy, quiet man that has been nothing but compassionate towards her. However, when the men that wish her harm come down on their heads, can he keep his promise to protect her or will she be safer on the run? Will she trust him... Chet's always been the kind to sit in the background. He's never been a leader, though he's strong enough to do it, and only a few people know the scars that burn his soul. Eve changes all of that. He refuses to stand back and let someone else do the work, going above and beyond to ensure her comfort and safety. With each passing moment he grows closer to her, but one wrong move sends Eve on the run again. Can he convince her to put her trust in him and the other bodyguards or will she disappear and never look back?About the Author: C. M.
