Overview

Being the younger brother of a Mafia boss was never easy, but I always made it work. I was Jeremy, the sassy and snarky one, always ready with a witty comeback and a sharp tongue. Nothing gets to me.

But when I return home after years of studying in London, my brother puts me under the protection of Bear Thornton. Stern, loyal, and commanding, Bear is the family's toughest enforcer.

He's also the man I fantasized about for years, spending long sleepless nights dreaming about him putting me over his knee.

Now I'm a grown man. This isn't puppy love anymore. I want his thick muscular arms around me, pinning me down, making me his.

And from the look in his eyes, he sees that I'm not a little kid anymore, too. But there's no way Bear would betray my brother's orders by claiming me. He's too loyal.

I want him. I can't have him.

And he's going to be my bodyguard for the whole week.

Something's going to give.

I'm under Bear's protection, but who's going to protect me from myself?
