Sophie.”
“Mom, is it true that you’re protecting Colin Brennan?”
Did her ex spill the beans? Damn. “Yes, I am.”
Her daughter’s eyes lit up. “Can I meet him?”
“Right now it’s dangerous.”
“Then when you’re done and he’s safe? Please, Mom. I’ll be the best daughter.”
“We’ll talk about it.”

Tamra was waiting on the sidewalk when Kelly picked her up.
“I’ve got bad news.”
Tamra’s pulse kicked up a notch. “What? Is it Colin? Did he not make it home?”
“No, he’s fine. He wants you to be his round the clock bodyguard.”
Tamra didn’t know what to say. That just could not happen. “I don’t see why he would care who was with him. Besides, one of our big guys would be able to protect him so much better.”
“He insisted.”
“Then you need to talk him out of it.”
“I need to?”
“Yes, you. I’ve got a ton of things today and you can reason with him. You are so much more the people person in this relationship.”
Hopefully she hadn’t la y it on too thick.
“I agree that a guy would be better suited but why are you so reluctant to do this? Or even talk to him?”
“You said yourself he was flirting. It made me uncomfortable.”
“I’m calling bullshit.”
“Why?”
“You didn’t even notice his flirting. What’s changed?”
“Nothing.”
“Tamra. It’s me. I know things about you. Just tell me and I won’t judge.”
“I fell asleep on his couch last night. I’m embarrassed.”
“That’s it?”
No, but she was not going to tell Kelly that she might be attracted to their client. She wasn’t one to have crushes. She hadn’t been on a date in years. She swore off men. This whole Colin thing was invading her sleep.
She had to stay away from him.
CHAPTER 4
Colin had a lot to do that day as he waited for Tamra. She wasn’t late. Yet. He liked to be punctual and he had the appointment with the fragrance company today.
He had to admit he was excited for what the day held. And to spend it with Tamra. She couldn’t possibly turn him down. Of course if she really was not interested in him, then things would be awkward.
He’d seen her face when he’d shaken her hand. She’d felt the jolt also. It was this tingle he’d never experienced before this. It must mean something. It wasn’t static electricity. No, there was something there and he planned on pursuing it.
Gently, of course. She was like a skittish horse. He’d have to tread lightly which was difficult for him.
He heard a car door outside and his heart rate quickened. Tamra. Would she be mad at him? Or would she welcome the chance to get to know him?
Here he was, a rock star with oodles of money and adoring fans and he felt as if he’d asked a girl to the prom and was waiting on her answer. No matter how successful you were, some things never changed.
He’d gotten women in his bed with just a crook of his finger. Because those women had been sleeping with him because he was a rock star, they didn’t add to his confidence. No, he was still a shy little boy inside.
He laughed. What would his fans think of him now?
Kelly entered the house. Alone.
Colin looked past her.
“She isn’t coming.”
“No? I specifically requested it.”
“I know but we’ve agreed that I might be the better person to guard you. I’m more of a people person.”
He frowned. This was not going as planned. He crossed his arms. Time to play the spoiled rock star card? “But I asked for this. Do you have the same self-defense skills as Tamra?”
“No, I don’t. That’s why I’m shadowing you today but I’m bringing in someone else to help me.”
“That’s too many people around me. Why do you think my assistant doesn’t live with me? I like to be alone.”
“You wouldn’t be alone with Tamra here,” Kelly said.
“No, but she’d be one person as opposed to two. I really want this to happen.”
“Not sure it’s going to.”
“Then I think I’ll
