Sassy meets swoon-worthy in this fast-paced contemporary romance.
Miriam Salisbury escapes to Oregon to avoid a boyfriend who won't take no for an answer, killing her beloved cat to prove it. When her father sends Clay Browning to protect her, she's certain he's lost his mind. As far as she's concerned Clay's experience is limited to posing for the camera, charming women, and making fun of her. He's been teasing her since they were children and she's never gotten over the way he threw crawdads at her at church picnics.
Clay retired from the military and entered the world of private security. When he gets the call to protect Miriam he's excited to be around his lifelong crush. As expected, he teases her nonstop and the only thing he takes seriously is her security. He knows she'd never give him a chance and he can't help but give her a hard time.
After Miriam is dumped in the freezing ocean on a crabbing expedition and Clay saves her from drowning and freezing to death, she takes a second look at her hired gun. But opening up to him is more terrifying than facing her stalker.
As events escalate to a frenzied climax, Miriam and Clay must put aside past grudges in the hope of finding a lasting love for their future.

My Review: 4.5 Stars
I love a romance that stems from a childhood crush, and through a series of misunderstandings and assumptions, Clay and Miriam are never more than friends until he's employed to be her bodyguard. Clay is a huge tease, but the banter they share because of her sassiness results in a delightful relationship. My brothers and dad are big teases, so I get how that's one way to show affection, and it really does warm my heart at how easy and fun their interactions are.
I love the swoony and sass, but it's especially great because Clay isn't the perfect hero--he's got some physical limitations that keep him human. Miriam is loveable, but I love that streak of snark.
Cami Checketts really is a master at incorporating some steamy clean romance with crazy suspense and this story isn't any different. The tension, oh the tension, is very present and I wanted to scream, "Just kiss already!" because it's so thick. But I loved it!
This has everything a reader could want to have a great escape and the humorous moments are the icing on the cake. I guess I just wanted a few more teensy, tiny details. Why is Clay a billionaire exactly? And I wasn't ready to let this couple go yet, but it is a really great read.
Content: mild+ romance (some innuendo and implied intimate moments); mild violence
