Ask Me To

She found a dead body. It's his job to protect her. They shouldn't get close. The heart finds a way.

Dowdy lawyer Theo Landry's career is in shreds. She isn't happy when she's forced to accept her father's job offer, but his lead investigator makes coming into the office every day worth the while. Tall, dark, and very handsome. She doesn't expect anything to come of her infatuation with Jack Warner, but it doesn't hurt to look.

Private investigator Jack Warner was interested in and intrigued by his boss's daughter, despite Theo's severe hair and boring wardrobe. There is something about her that has caught and kept his attention. But dating his boss's daughter isn't a good idea.

When Theo finds herself in need of protection, her father assigns his favorite investigator to watch over his daughter. Jack and Theo find themselves thrown together and living in close quarters. Theo wants Jack, but doesn't think she's his type. Jack wants Theo but knows that his first priority is to protect her. But the desires of the heart can't be put off indefinitely, and if Jack wants Theo to stay with him always, he'll have to find a way past her defenses to keep her.

Note from author: "This is the second book in The Heart's Way series, approximately 55,000 words. Jack and Theo's story was actually finished before the first book, For Now And Always, because I became obsessed with Jack. I hope you love him as much as I do. All The Heart's Way books can be read separately, but like most series, it's more fun in order. Please note this is an open-door romance. I hope you enjoy." - Lizzy Castle
