Sports Romance

Arm's Length

She's guarded a hundred bodies without ever losing one. His is the first she can't stop wanting.

Edinburgh's star striker has two weeks until the derby and a death threat that reads like an inside job. So the club hires Kirsty Dunbar — ex-military, unbroken record, zero patience for pampered athletes — to move into Marco Ferreira's home and never leave his side. Marco resents being handled by a woman who treats his charm as a threat and his life as a job. Kirsty resents that he's the first principal her discipline can't file away.

Then a break-in proves the threat is real, and the rules collapse: same floor, same room, never more than an arm's length. The detachment that kept every client alive is exactly what wanting him dissolves — and Kirsty can't tell anymore whether staying keeps Marco safe or gets him killed. On derby eve the danger closes in from inside his own circle, and a half-second's hesitation nearly costs him everything.

A high-heat, forced-proximity bodyguard romance novella. Perfect for fans of Elsie Silver and Katee Robert.
