There are good guys, and then there are highly trained good guys—the kind who make the world a safer, sexier place.

He's supposed to be on hiatus.

Former military and ex-FBI agent Ethan Worth is searching for a new way to serve and protect. On a break in Beaufort, North Carolina, he might have found it.

Although saving a tipsy damsel in distress from a shady troublemaker isn't what he had in mind, it ends with the surprisingly sober beauty outraged by his rescue. That's all Ethan needs for his expert instincts to kick into high gear.

Nosey men shouldn't be so sexy.

Riley Reynolds is back in Beaufort for one reason only: to find her missing best friend, Hanna. If that means using herself as bait for the kind of guy who'd prey on a vulnerable young woman, so be it. She doesn't need a rugged knight in shining armor like Ethan distracting her, and she doesn't want his help.

But it turns out she needs it. And together, as the heat between them rises, so does the danger. Until both their lives are on the line.

The sexy and thrilling Dangerous Distractions series continues with book two, Baited. With nonstop action and steam, Riley and Ethan detonate the screen with passion. Tropes include: he falls first; she's a target; FBI agent; slow burn.
