Thrill Me to Death

A hot-blooded bodyguard must protect an heiress worth a cool billion from a killer in this romantic suspense tale by a New York Times–bestselling author.

He knows all her secrets . . .

Max Roper never lets emotion get in the way of his job—not since the tragic shooting that killed his fiancée’s father. Now the former DEA agent is a Bullet Catcher, and he’s managed to block out Cori’s bitter goodbye—and their sizzling passion. Those dangerous desires come back with a vengeance when Max is assigned to protect a recently widowed heiress: who turns out to be Cori. But Max must also discover his ex’s dark secret . . . and they both know she can’t hide anything from him.

 . . . and how to use them against her

Her luxury lifestyle suggests that Cori has gone from being a trophy wife to a merry widow, but nothing could be further from the truth. Suspicious of her billionaire husband’s sudden death, she hires a bodyguard. But her protector is the one man who can melt her every defense—the one man she blames for her deepest sorrow, the one man whose six-feet four-inches of solid muscle ignites reckless passion in her. And as they close in on a killer who hides in plain view, their high-stakes affair could cost her everything . . . including her life.
