Jocelyn jerked awake just as she’d finally closed her eyes. She could not sleep with someone else in her house, especially when that someone was Landon Myers.

He was shirtless...

And ridiculously muscular and sexy and...

Suspicious. She could not trust him. While he was probably in his early thirties, like she was, he had worked vice long enough that he should have been able to bring down Luther Mills. But that hadn’t happened until after he’d left the department.

There had to be a reason for that—like he had been working for Luther the years he’d been in the vice unit. Was he working for him now?

Instead of protecting her, did he intend to get rid of her? She reached beneath the pillow next to hers, where she’d stashed her Taser gun. Would the shock be enough to stop him? Or would she even have time to fire it at him?

He had a real gun with bullets. He didn’t have to get close to her to kill her. But he was close.

Just below her.

She scooted up against the headboard to listen for any noise. Was he asleep? It wasn’t as if she would be able to hear him snoring unless he snored really loudly. She did hear something, though—the metallic creak of hinges. Somebody was opening a door.

She waited for the blare of the alarm but then remembered that she’d shut it off. She hadn’t turned it back on before going to bed like she usually did because her damn bodyguard had distracted her.

And if that wasn’t her bodyguard moving around downstairs, it could have been someone who’d taken advantage of the security system being off. Someone could have broken inside her house.

She pulled the Taser from beneath her pillow and stepped lightly onto the floor. She moved quietly toward the door. But she had to unlock and open it. And the hinges on her door creaked like the ones she’d heard.

Damn.

Now whomever she had heard might have heard her, as well. It didn’t matter if it was the bodyguard or an intruder. She was in danger no matter who was out there. With her Taser in both hands, she moved to the back stairwell, which descended into the kitchen. She drew in a deep breath as she stepped onto the tile floor. The ceramic was cold beneath her bare feet. She shivered, but being cold wasn’t the reason.

She heard another creak—from behind her. But she had no time to whirl around, and point her weapon, before strong arms closed around her. A scream tore from her throat as she struggled in the grasp of her attacker.

Through the thin cotton of her nightgown, she could feel the heat of his body and even the bareness of his chest. The bodyguard was the one who’d grabbed her.

Now what did he intend to do with her?

Kill her?

Or...

Her pulse quickened in anticipation as he turned her in his arms, and her breasts pushed against his chest as she panted for breath. “What—what are you doing?” she asked.
