Close Cover

Remy Guidry doesn’t do relationships. He tried the marriage thing once, back in Louisiana, and learned the hard way that all he really needs in life is a cold beer, some good friends, and the occasional hookup. His job as a bodyguard with McKay-Taggart gives him purpose and lovely perks, like access to Sanctum. The last thing he needs in his life is a woman with stars in her eyes and babies in her future. 

Lisa Daley’s life is going in the right direction. She has graduated from college after years of putting herself through school. She’s got a new job at an accounting firm and she’s finished her Sanctum training. Finally on her own and having fun, her life seems pretty perfect. Except she’s lonely and the one man she wants won’t give her a second look.

There is one other little glitch. Apparently, her new firm is really a front for the mob and now they want her dead. Assassins can really ruin a fun girls’ night out. Suddenly strapped to the very same six-foot-five-inch hunk of a bodyguard who makes her heart pound, Lisa can’t decide if this situation is a blessing or a curse.

As the mob closes in, Remy takes his tempting new charge back to the safest place he knows—his home in the bayou. Surrounded by his past, he can’t help wondering if Lisa is his future. To answer that question, he just has to keep her alive.

Close Cover came about as part of a crossover collection. Any one who's listened to me talk knows how much I love comic books and building a universe of my own. One of my favorite things about comics is when they cross over and The Avengers meet The Guardians of the Galaxy or Batman teams up with Superman. So I built up a group of bodyguards over the course of several books (also known as the full douche) and then asked some of Romancelandia's most amazing authors to take those characters into their worlds. I'm very proud of how that went and will be forever grateful to Carly Phillips, Julie Kenner, Susan Stoker, Corrine Michaels, and Larissa Ione for helping make this dream of a project come true.

Close Cover also introduces the Louisiana town that become the center of the Butterfly Bayou series.
