A Reluctant Bodyguard
Mallory Garrett has concentrated on one thing in the year since her husband's death-* giving her three-year-old daughter a stable, loving homelife. Worn down by financial pressure and the rigors of single parenthood, Mallory hasn't had time to think about men or love or even herself-until a good deed threatens her hard-won stability.
Captain Derek Tate, an Air Force fighter pilot, wants more than anything to realize his dream-flying the sleekest, fastest jets until he retires. He doesn't want to surrender his career to family, as his father did, and he believes that a family will make certain demands and that eventually he'll have to choose between family and his dream.
And then Mallory's child brings home an accidentally recycled top secret document and Derek is sent to be their reluctant bodyguard.
