The Guard Dog

Getting what he wants is in Chase Laurier's blood (and bank account).

Getting what he wants is in Chase Laurier's blood (and bank account). So he can't quite figure out how he has ended up here - with a murdered dad, a stressed out uncle, and a scarred, brooding body guard glued to his side 24/7. Reeling from grief and determined to restore some semblance of order to his life, he pushes Rowan, his body guard, away at every turn. But Rowan, it turns out, is surprisingly steadfast, diligent, and determined to keep Chase safe. That, and extremely annoying. The guy is everywhere, including, it turns out, assigned to live in Chase's apartment from now on.Rowan Blair doesn't expect much trouble from his new client, Chase. Sure, the guy is entitled and obnoxious beyond measure, but Rowan can handle that. In fact, he finds it amusing. What he can't handle is the way Chase gets pale when he is scared, the way he cries in the shower when he thinks no one can hear, the way his freckles shimmer on his skin. Soon, his urge to protect Chase, to be close to him, goes far beyond what is appropriate for a normal body guard and client relationship. And he can't quite figure out how to go back.
