BLURB

Remy Guidry doesn’t do relationships. He tried the marriage thing once, back in Louisiana, and learned the hard way that all he really needs in life is a cold beer, some good friends, and the occasional hookup. His job as a bodyguard with McKay-Taggart gives him purpose and lovely perks, like access to Sanctum. The last thing he needs in his life is a woman with stars in her eyes and babies in her future. Lisa Daley’s life is finally going in the right direction. She has finally graduated from college after years of putting herself through school. She’s got a new job at an accounting firm and she’s finished her Sanctum training. Finally on her own and having fun, her life seems pretty perfect. Except she’s lonely and the one man she wants won’t give her a second look. There is one other little glitch. Apparently, her new firm is really a front for the mob and now they want her dead. Assassins can really ruin a fun girls’ night out. Suddenly strapped to the very same six-foot-five-inch hunk of a bodyguard who makes her heart pound, Lisa can’t decide if this situation is a blessing or a curse. As the mob closes in, Remy takes his tempting new charge back to the safest place he knows—his home in the bayou. Surrounded by his past, he can’t help wondering if Lisa is his future. To answer that question, he just has to keep her alive.

Close Cover by Lexi Blake, from her new Crossover Collection is part 16 of the Masters & Mercenaries series. Told in third person, from dual perspectives, this story is slow at the start. There is a lot of backstory to connect crossover characters, getting the story moving. A little overwhelming for a first time reader to catch up on.

Invested quickly in the camaraderie between characters & loyalty above all. Enjoyed the wonderfully emotional & incredibly sexy, connection between Remy & Lisa – mixed with that stubbornness of a possessive DOM & a strong woman.

Fan favorite for sure.
