title: Best Man for the Job
author: Valentine, Melinda
description: Sloane Robertson has it all—an awesome job, a handsome boyfriend, and the perfect apartment… Well, maybe everything isn’t perfect. Her boss is acting strange, and constantly covering for him is taking its toll. Her handsome boyfriend also happens to be a cheating scumbag. At least she has a great apartment. However, after witnessing her boss’s murder, Sloane is forced to take refuge with the best man in her cousin’s wedding. The sexy ex-cop currently works at a security firm, and since her boyfriend can’t be bothered to protect her, Maxwell Fear steps in. Max has been on protection detail a time or two, so he knows he has what it takes to keep Sloane safe… Max knows all too well what can happen to a witness of a violent crime. Protecting Sloane is just another job. That mind-numbing kiss at her front door after dinner at her cousin’s house was a fluke. He will keep it professional and do his job. But what’s business without at least a little pleasure? After watching Sloane suffer through her boyfriend’s constant indiscretions, Max is certain she deserves better. Can he manage to keep Sloane safe long enough to convince her to ditch her boyfriend and make her realize that he’s the… …best man for the job?
