Charmed By You — J. Kenner

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author J. Kenner comes a new story in her Stark Security series...Former vigilante-for-hire Simon Barré has one steadfast rule: stay far away from celebrities. Too bad Simon's first assignment at Stark Security is to protect A-list actress Francesca Muratti. He can't even turn down the assignment, as that would be violating his second rule—never fail a woman. Now he finds himself up-close-and-personal with a high-maintenance diva whose flash and sass drives him crazy—but whose touch he undeniably craves.The world might believe that Francesca Muratti leads a fairy tale life, but the truth is far darker. For years, she's kept a horrible secret about her best friend's death. Now someone is threatening to kill Francesca if she doesn't reveal all. She needs protection, but there's no way she's going to tell the sexy Stark Security agent what she did or why she's being threatened. Which means that in order to survive and protect her secrets, Francesca must pull off the biggest acting job of her career: she's going to have to let Simon close, but not let him see her true heart.**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it's an introduction to an author's world. And for fans, it's a bonus book in the author's series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**
