see if Larry can find me another security detail.”
He stared at her. He wasn’t going to blink. He was bluffing, knowing full well he wouldn’t fire them and that they might need him more than he needed them.
Kelly sighed. “I’ll talk to her.”
Bonus!

Tamra fumed as Kelly drove her to Colin’s house. She hadn’t wanted to do that. Not at all. But here she was moving into Colin’s house for the length of this assignment.
How was she going to get through this if what she’d felt on her hand had really happened?
Damn. She couldn’t remember ever being in such a situation.
“You’re pissed. Why?”
“Because I don’t think this is a good idea.”
“Well, the client wants this and this could catapult our company into the big time. Colin Brennan could get us some high profile customers and we’d be doing very well then. So suck it up, buttercup.”
Of course Kelly would say that.
Tamra swallowed. Time to come clean. Partially. “I think he has another motive for me guarding him.”
“Oh?”
This pained her to say. She didn’t have enough ego to be sure this was true. “You even said he was flirting with me. What if he does have an attraction to me?”
“Since when have you ever been intimidated by a man? I’ve seen you cut bigger and bolder men down to size. You’re going to let one skinny rock star that you could break like a twig bother you?”
He was skinny, but he had those sinewy muscles that you couldn’t see through a shirt. She’d seen him almost naked so she knew. He’d be a more formidable opponent than she’d ever dealt with.
She sighed. It wasn’t that simple. There’d been something electric in his touch. Something she’d never felt. What if it all meant something? She could jeopardize so many lives if she lost control or focus.
If Colin had felt the same thing, she had the feeling that he wouldn’t stop until he got his way. He was rich and attractive and people did his bidding. Despite him telling her that he hadn’t surrounded himself with nothing but flatterers and yes-men.
Someone was bound to be.
“I guess not.”
“Besides, if you’re on the inside, you might be able to figure out who the stalker is. We know it’s someone inside his organization,” Kelly reminded her.
Kelly was right. She had to get past this and be professional. She’d packed her vibrator and extra batteries. Maybe she’d be okay.

There had been no reaction from the Brennan camp. No publicity. Nothing. No cops called. Just Tamra moving into the house that Colin was renting.
He’d have to do something bigger. Instead of a letter. An actual attempt to do what? Something. There had to be something that would get the press’ attention.
Colin would be in the news. That meant he’d be in the news even if they didn’t know his name.
That could work, but what?
He paced his office. Something threatening, but not dangerous. He wasn’t willing to kill Colin despite what he’d hinted at in the letters. Colin was his ticket to fame and fortune.
No, a smart man would milk this until he’d been as successful as he could be.
And he was a smart man. Smarter than Colin. Smarter than those two women protecting him.
They see it. They’d know at the end of all this that he was smart.
He laughed as he sat down to figure out his next move.

Colin didn’t answer the door right away. He didn’t want to seem too eager. Though in reality he was very eager to see Tamra.
She was a strong, sexy woman and he thought she was a woman who could ground him and hold him in check. She turned him on with just her smile.
Not that she smiled much. That made the situation more special when she did. He hoped he could loosen her up. Even if he didn’t, he was giving this a shot. Colin Brennan didn’t often fail at what he tried.
He had no plans to begin now.
Tamra rolled her suitcase into his rental house. She had a frown on her face. He smiled at her anyway.
“So Kelly convinced
