Hot Property — Susan Johnson

To finish her exposé on art collectors, Zoe Chandler has fled to a secluded lake house. Fortunately, there is a barista nearby to satisfy her caffeine habit. And maybe her muscle-bound neighbor in the cargo shorts could satisfy some of her other needs...

The problem is, he likes seclusion even more than she does. Haunted by his past in the CIA, Nick Mirovic isn't looking for company -- though he can't help imagining what it would be like.

When the controversy surrounding her book brings a threat to her door, Zoe begs Nick to protect her from danger...and to keep her close. With his own trouble brewing, he's not sure he can trust her. But she'll do everything in her power to persuade him...
