Lori Foster, 1958-

Book - 2017

Leese Phelps's road hasn't been an easy one, but it's brought him to the perfect job--working for the elite Body Armor security agency. And what his newest assignment lacks in size, she makes up for in fire and backbone. But being drawn to Catalina Nicholson is a dangerous complication, especially since it could be the very man who hired Leese who's threatening her. What Catalina knows could get her killed. But who'd believe the sordid truth about her powerful stepfather? Beyond Leese's ripped body and brooding gaze is a man of impeccable honor. He's the last person she expects to trust--and the first who's ever made her feel safe. And he's the only one who can help her expose a deadly secret, if... they can just stay alive long enough ...

Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

Launching the Body Armor contemporary romantic suspense series, bestseller Foster (Don't Tempt Me) pulls out all the stops with precise plotting and deep characters. Leese Phelps, a former mixed martial arts fighter turned bodyguard for the Body Armor agency, rescues headstrong art teacher Catalina Nicholson from attackers, who know she's in possession of a dangerous secret and are trying to silence her. She fears that her stepfather, a wealthy and politically connected CEO, hired Leese to kidnap her, but he soon puts her at ease. Leese takes Cat to Body Armor's headquarters in Cincinnati, where the firm's new owner, Sahara Silver, stashes the two in the firm's luxurious penthouse for safekeeping. As danger grows, so do the passion and affection between Cat and Leese. Teasing and humorous dialogue, sizzling sex scenes, tender moments, and overriding tension show Foster's skill as a balanced storyteller. She sets up a continuing story line for the series with the mystery of who murdered the firm's founder, Sahara's brother, but this thread never overwhelms the gripping main story, which will leave readers breathless.
