The Bodyguard and Ms. Jones — Susan Mallery

THE BIG, BAD BODYGUARD AND THE SUBURBAN MOM

Dangerous Mike Blackburne took a bullet -- bravely. Made a four-story nosedive -- manfully. But recuperate in -- shudder! -- the suburbs? That unnerved the big, bad bodyguard....

Thank heaven for Ms. Cindy Jones. The angelic schoolmarm and her two winsome kids shepherded Mike through a minefield of local busybodies and backyard barbecues. Then they ambushed his heart along the way, making him crave childish cuddles ... and womanly kisses. Whoa! Mike belonged in the shadows, not this world of sunshine and love. Yet now that he'd discovered paradise ... how could he ever give it up?
