A nerdy girl, opposites attract, fish out of water, military protector romance from New York Times Bestselling Author Lynn Raye Harris. Garrett “Iceman” Spencer didn’t join the Army’s elite Hostile Operations Team to babysit a spoiled rich girl, but when his superiors insist on assigning him to a senator’s daughter as her security detail, he has no choice. Scientist Grace Campbell doesn’t want a bodyguard, especially not the growly, handsome-as-sin specimen she ends up with, but she has no choice. She’s discovered something in the lab that’s made her a target for terror groups and foreign governments alike, so having a brooding man watching her every move is logical. Even if he makes her squirm. Grace isn’t his type, but it’s still a shock to find that beneath the glasses and serious scowl, the nerdy scientist burns hot. Worse, Garrett wants to immerse himself in the flames. He won’t, but he wants to. When danger strikes close to home, there’s only one solution. On the run, disguised, staying in cheap motels and fiercely guarding his charge, there’s only so much heat, so much temptation, a man can resist before his willpower crumbles and he takes what’s offered. Before he realizes he’s never letting his nerdy girl go. But first they have to make it out alive… **Start reading the Hostile Operations Team Series - Strike Team 1 today and enjoy an action-packed, seriously romantic and steamy-good-fun military romantic suspense.
