      THE BODYGUARD

      For professor Ginny Anderson, translating a set of ancient tablets could be the coup of her career—or more danger than she can handle. Someone doesn’t want the secrets of the artifacts to be revealed…and they’ll kill to bury her discoveries. But former Secret Service agent Colin Tapping refuses to let anybody hurt Ginny and appoints himself as her protector—whether she wants one or not. Colin has made mistakes in the past, and keeping Ginny safe could be just what he needs to prove he’s still a capable agent and win back his job. But is he willing to risk paying the ultimate price to reclaim his former life?

      “What do you want with me?”

      She tried to step around him, clutching a satchel to her chest.

      “You may be in danger, Ginny. The police aren’t sure where that stun grenade that was thrown last night came from and who it was meant for.”

      “I appreciate your concern, but I don’t feel like I’m in danger.”

      “Then why do you keep looking over your shoulder?”

      “I—” She broke off, her eyes unfocused.

      Colin knew that look. She was scared. “It’s going to be all right.” He tried to smile to put her at ease, but the gesture felt tight. “I’d like to look out for you.”

      “I don’t need a babysitter.” She sidestepped him and walked away.

      If the Secret Service had taught him anything, it was that threats lurked where you least expected them.

      And he was right. She opened the car door, and the loud roar of an engine springing to life nearby sent him into alert.

      And then he saw it. A white van sped down the parking lot aisle, right for Ginny.
