Barefoot with a Bodyguard
by Roxanne St. Claire

The Barefoot Bay Undercover Series

Introducing
Barefoot Bay Undercover, a romantic adventure series set on
the tropical beaches of Barefoot Bay. When former CIA
consultant Gabe Rossi creates a secret “privatized
witness protection” operation hidden within the
security firm at the local resort, things get a little more
suspenseful on the island paradise. Gabe’s clients
need to keep a low profile and stay safe while he helps them
create new identities…and, sometimes, they find love.
(To find out how Gabe started the operation, be sure to read
the series prequel novella, BAREFOOT BOUND.)

BAREFOOT WITH A BODYGUARD — book one in the
series

About to take the bar exam after ending a
five-year marriage that derailed her career plans and her
life, Kate Kingston craves independence and a vacation.
Somewhere warm with sea breezes, sunshine, sand…and no
scary threats against her that have been showing up in her
dad’s office. Barefoot Bay is the perfect place for
some serenity while she studies and puts her life back
together. But when she meets the brooding wall of muscle her
father hired to protect her, Kate feels her hard won
independence slipping away as fast as her resolve to avoid
men who wield power over her.

Mixed martial arts trainer
Alec Petrov has been on the run for a long time. Guarding a
feisty attorney-to-be while pretending to be her husband is
not a bad way to live off the grid, hidden from the Russian
mobster who is hunting Alec with deadly intent. But Kate
brings out a tender side Alec doesn’t understand, or
believe he deserves, and he soon realizes that keeping them
both safe is only half the challenge. Keeping his hands off
her and his attraction under control will be every bit as
difficult in the close quarters of an exclusive resort.

When their make-believe honeymoon in paradise turns sensual,
complicated, and dangerous, Alec and Kate realize it’s
not just their lives that are in jeopardy, it’s their
hearts. And they’ll have to fight to the end to save
each other…and their love.
