Talia Shaw has spent her adult life working as a scientist for a big pharmaceutical company. She’s focused on saving lives, not living life. When her lab is broken into and it's clear someone is after the top secret formula she’s working on, she turns to the one man she can trust. The same irresistible man she turned away years earlier because she was too young and naive to believe a sexy guy like Shane Landon could want her.
Shane Landon’s bodyguard work for McKay-Taggart is the one thing that brings him satisfaction in his life. Relationships come in second to the job. Always. Then little brainiac Talia Shaw shows up in his backyard, frightened and on the run, and his world is turned upside down. And not just because she’s found him naked in his outdoor shower, either.
With Talia's life in danger, Shane has to get her out of town and to her eccentric, hermit mentor who has the final piece of the formula she’s been working on, while keeping her safe from the men who are after her. Guarding Talia's body certainly isn't any hardship, but he never expects to fall hard and fast for his best friend’s little sister and the only woman who’s ever really gotten under his skin.

Another super short Masters and Mercenaries spinoff novella. This one worked A LOT better for me than RESCUEING SADIE did. This was a complete (albeit very rushed) story that worked well as a standalone. Obviously, you won't know who some of the secondary characters are if you haven't read the M&M series, but we are not dropped into an already ongoing story with this one, thankfully.
The writing was fantastic. The plot was quite decent considering the length of the book. I loved the little glimpse of Ian and the kids and Hutch. Both Talia and Chase were likable. The sex scenes were hot. There is a smidge of angst but no OW or OM drama, and it ended on a delightful one year in the future epilogue. Therefore yours truly is going to give this one two thumbs up.
