Protecting people, safeguarding secrets... For the men of Hawkeye, the line of duty between bodyguard and client isn't meant to be crossed.

Torin Carter is her partner, and carnal temptation. Falling in love will mean paying the ultimate price.

Highly trained agent Mira Araceli can hold her own in the male dominated security world, but one man could crumble that resolve—her secret crush, Torin Carter. She'd fallen for her Hawkeye instructor years before. With his brooding Irish good looks, unshakable integrity, and haunted blue eyes, he was her every fantasy. Unfortunately he never even glanced her way.

Torin's intense hunger for the new recruit shocked the hell out of him. But rules were rules, and as his student, the fierce and gorgeous Mira was off-limits. Not to mention she was far too young and innocent for him.

Now, when Hawkeye pairs them together for an undercover assignment, she discovers the dangerous side he was hiding, buried beneath his wicked desire. Desperate for a second chance, Mira will be in for the fight of her life— if the beautiful storm that is Torin Carter doesn't completely destroy her first.
