Title: Genuine Fake
Author: Susan Vaughan
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Book Blurb:
Memories of leading his Army Ranger team into a deathtrap haunt security operative Boyd Kirby so he swears never to protect people. But when the woman he never forgot asks for help, he can’t refuse. Gemma’s request leads to a case of art forgery and murder attempts… on her. Sweating bullets, Boyd vows not to be distracted by her vibrancy and his desire. He damn well will protect her… with his life.
Gemma Bellini believes managing her famous grandfather’s art legacy can redeem her for a scandal that makes her wary of men’s motives. Because of forgeries and attempts on her life, she needs Boyd. She remembers his sexy magnetism and sense of humor that masked pain. This strong man will investigate and keep her safe, but can she trust him with her heart?
When sparks between them ignite to flames, the danger escalates—to their lives and their hearts.
Excerpt:
Gemma’s heart fluttered against her ribs. Could it be Boyd? There’d been so much noise on his end of his call …
The door swung inward, and Boyd Kirby filled the space. His steel-gray gaze mapped the room before landing on her. He swept her head to toe, then nodded, apparently satisfied she was all in one piece.
And oh my, the man did fill out a tuxedo. The jacket molded the muscularity of his wide shoulders. The ends of a bow tie stuck out of his breast pocket, and the blinding-white dress shirt hung open partway, displaying smooth, solid muscle dusted with bronze hairs.
“Gemma, you okay?”
She was, now that he’d arrived. Her whole being felt lighter, but apparently her brain had left the building. Finally she managed to say, “Yes, yes, I’m good. As you see.”
She took two steps toward him before she forced herself to halt. She’d promised herself to keep it all business. But damn, she wanted nothing more but to feel his strong arms around her.
