Max, a retired Marine, would gladly serve a few more tours of duty to avoid settling down. Other than playing rugby, Max doesn’t do much besides drink beer and have sex. But as soon as he hears his best friend’s sister needs help, he runs to her aid.

When free-spirited Lia Montgomery took a job at a club, she didn’t expect to have to deal with rough and threatening guys. What’s worse? She can’t get her brother’s seriously sexy friend to stop acting as her body guard. The protection is sweet, but she has to keep her crush on him at bay. As they spend more time together, the lines between them get blurred-and Lia is left with a very difficult choice to make.
