Haven Security

An Opportunity Seized Two unforeseen moments in time- One brings them together, the other is a danger so real it could tear them apart. Antoinette 'Toni' Grimaldi prefers to keep out of the spotlight, blend in with the crowd and experience life the same as the bulk of the population. Being a mining magnate's daughter is a difficult persona for her to uphold. She just doesn't fit in with high society standards, always managing to say something inappropriate or trip over her own feet at the worst possible moment, resulting in that look of disappointment and embarrassment her parents inevitably wear whenever she's around. Meeting a handsome stranger who comes to her rescue and asks her out on a date is so much more than Toni could have ever hoped for on her dream holiday-one she is surprised her parents have even permitted her to take alone. Her fairy-tale moment is short-lived, though, when Toni discovers the stranger has been hired by her family to follow her every move-under the guise of keeping her safe. Jason finds he is drawn to Antoinette. She is nothing at all like the socialite he was expecting to shadow around London's nightclubs. After an awkward first meeting, he convinces Toni that there is more to his interest in her than just as her bodyguard. To his surprise, his attraction for the soft-spoken, thoughtful woman grows, despite his usual reluctance to commit to any kind of relationship. Then a disaster at one of the family-owned mines and a string of death threats force Toni to return home, and her need for a bodyguard becomes a life and death reality. An Opportunity for Redemption She kept his son a secret for years-she should pay for her deceit. Instead, he's fighting the urge to drag her back into his arms-and bed. When ex-commando-and now owner of Haven Security-Nathan Haven discovers he has a son, it's enough of a kick to the gut. Learning at the same time that this child he's never met is losing the battle with leukemia-the last straw. He vows to make Rebecca Hammerton regret her decision to keep his son a secret from him. But first he is going to do everything in his power to help defeat the disease that threatens his boy's life. Then he will deal with the woman that walked away from him seven years ago without so much as a by your leave, turning his heart to stone. He just has to suppress the constant urge to drag the damn sexy heartbreaker back into his arms-and his bed-first. Reader Advisory: This book contains scenes of kidnap.
