Tease Me, Doc: A Forced Proximity, Grumpy Sunshine, Bodyguard Romance (Kiss-Met, 4)

She never wanted a bodyguard. He never wanted a heart. Fate hands them both. Evie Hathaway never expected to need a bodyguard. She is not famous or wealthy, only a quiet beekeeper in rural Washington. But her rare Rh null blood has made her the target of a dark web competition, and when she is attacked during a routine venom delivery, her world collapses. To her horror, the assault is witnessed by Dr Benjamin Frost, and neither man is willing to let her walk back into danger alone. Evie leaves the encounter with a reluctant doctor-turned-bodyguard, and the only thing more alarming than the threats around her is how infuriatingly attractive he is. Dr Benjamin Frost does not babysit. The ex-military physician lives by precision, control and emotional distance. Yet Evie Hathaway dismantles every barrier he has built. Her stubborn independence, her lavender-sweet warmth and her ability to attract chaos as easily as she attracts bees pull him into a deadly chase he cannot ignore. Protecting her should be simple. Neutralise the threats.
