He thought he’d experienced the McQuaid legacy of love with his childhood sweetheart. But he’d been wrong. Or had he?

Executive protection agent Dustin McQuaid is always in control of himself and is considered the best bodyguard in his agency. But he has one Assignments to guard women are off-limits. When he’s asked to protect the woman he once loved and hoped to marry, he refuses at first, but the large bonus might be just what he needs to launch the app he’s been developing.

When a stalker begins to haunt billionaire heiress Silver St. James, she agrees to have Dustin as her bodyguard, telling herself that she won’t fall for him again—not after he rejected her back in high school. She’s happy running her equestrian therapy ranch, and she has no desire to renew a relationship with the man who broke her heart.

As the stalker closes in, Dustin concocts a plan to keep Silver safe by pretending that they’re honeymooners. But the more time he spends with her, the more out of control he feels as he falls fast and furiously for her again. Can they both let go of the insecurities of the past to embrace a new future together? Or will they push one another away once again?

My Thoughts:

Second Chance romances is one of my favorite tropes, and toss in a sexy cowboy trying not to get all tangled up in romance again and I'm in.
The last thing Dustin wants is to get tangled up with Silver again. He was fine being her body-guard, sort of, he'd much rather have his partner Isaac do it, but he knew her which would make him the better choice. 
This was a fun book with both laughable and gritting your teeth moments.
I haven't read the previous books in the series so it can definitely stand alone.

My Bottom Line:
This was a fun, and enjoyable read. I loved the title as well as Silver's name. The push and pull of the romance was perfect. A fantastic end of Summer read.
