Protector
for Hire
Front and Center #4
Front and Center #4
By: Tawna Fenske
Releasing June 30, 2015
Haunted
by his time in Iraq, former soldier Schwartz Patton goes off the grid,
retreating deep into Montana’s untamed wilderness. Now, ten years into his
self-imposed solitude, his brother tracks him down and asks for a favor. A
woman is in danger, and she needs help...and Schwartz is the only one who can
protect her.
Designer-loving
city girls like Janelle Keebler don't belong in the wilderness. Unless, of
course, they're witnesses to a murder by their psycho drug-trafficking
ex-husbands. Still, Janelle can't help the immediate physical response she has
to her sexy-as-sin protector that leaves her wanting more than she could have
ever imagined. Even if he does make terrible coffee...
Every
word, every touch, every kiss ignites a need Schwartz thought he’d lost
forever. He can't stop the desperate attraction simmering between him and
Janelle, even if he wanted to. Even if it means it could get them both killed.

“You
were gone a long time,” she said. “Did you have trouble finding something?”
He
frowned, not wanting to admit he’d been pacing around the damn store avoiding
the inevitable moment he’d have to go back and face her and accept the fact
that he’d probably never touch her again. “Not everything,” he said, poking the
meat loaf with his fork but not taking a bite. “I got the milk.”
“No
cond—coffee filters?”
“They
were all out of cond—coffee filters.”
“All
out?” She frowned. “I swear I saw a box when we were there the other day. They
were right up by the register.”
He
shifted on the bench, not wanting to admit he’d stared at the same damn box of
condoms and thought about having her again.
Maybe
just one more time before she walked out of his life forever. Instead, he’d
forced himself to walk away. “The box was damaged. Can’t risk having holes in
coffee filters.”
Across
the table, Gordy wiped his chin with a napkin.
“You
like the kind with the pointy tip, or the big wide ones?”
Schwartz
blinked. “Uh— ”
Laverne
beamed. “Oooh, I like the new ones they’re making now with the flavor-enhancing
micro-perforations.”
Schwartz
dared a glance at Janelle and saw that her face had gone from pink to bright
red. She opened her mouth to say something, but Laverne cut her off.
“You
know, I just love the ones with the extra-large base. The box says it makes for
a deeper, bolder experience.”
Janelle
choked on her drink, and Schwartz turned to see her sputtering into a glass
that looked suspiciously full of moonshine.
“How
much of that have you had?” he asked.
“Not
enough,” she said.
