Under His Protection

February 18, 2019
LaQuette (Wicked Wager) orchestrates a smoldering reunion between former lovers in this predictable but enjoyable contemporary. Camden Warren, executive assistant DA for New York, has allowed his influential father to orchestrate most of his life but balks at his father’s plans to marry him off. Still reeling from a brutal street attack, newly promoted Lt. Elijah Stephenson is set to transfer from vice to the NYPD’s less dangerous cybercrimes unit when an attempt on Camden’s life necessitates police protection, and Elijah is assigned as his bodyguard. There’s just one problem: Camden and Elijah shared a passionate night five years ago that ended in Camden leaving without a word, a rejection that still stings for Elijah. With a murderous cult gunning for Camden, he and Elijah are forced into close quarters to keep him safe, but the feelings left unexplored by Camden’s abrupt exit can’t be denied, and their mutual attraction remains too powerful to ignore. This is a must-read for fans of tropey contemporary romances filled with snarky banter and steamy sexual encounters, topped off with an ending that will melt the hardest heart.
