Bedding An Assassin

He'd break anything that threatened me... even my heart. As Jolene "Jo" Moroney watched the clock tick away from her small desk space, dread washed over her at the realization that this tiresome job was her life in a nutshell. She craved something more, something exciting. Callum Carmichael, an ex-assassin for the Scottish government, goes into hiding and takes a job at an estate in Ireland as a bodyguard to protect the future of the Moroney family from unspeakable dangers. Their worlds collide when an uncle Jo had never met before dies, leaving his vast fortune and age-old whiskey distillery to her, including the chiseled bodyguard. Immediately, sparks begin to fly and the sexual tension between the two of them burns so hot, it threatens to set their worlds ablaze. Acting on impulse, they give into their lust filled desire and share a sensual, passionate night together. Now, with those unspeakable dangers closing in on them, will Callum be able to both love and protect Jo? Or will he cost them their lives by pushing her away? (Re-edited 1-11-18)
