want you.” Mia’s smile was candy-sweet, but the light in her eyes was pure challenge. “Do you want me?”
Spence would rather take a bullet than hurt her, but he knew a trap when he teetered on the edge of one. Truth or lie, either way he’d be in trouble.
The upside? She didn’t wait for his response.
“What do you say? Want to see if we’re any good together?”
The downside? Her words were tempting enough to destroy his resistance.
He stared at that gorgeous face, with her full lips tilted in a bold smile and those fairy eyes glowing. Refusal was on the tip of his tongue, then he looked closer. There was just a hint of nerves lurking there, just beneath the desire.
That vulnerability hit him even harder than the desire, melting the rest of his resistance like fire melted wax.
Where was a sniper when he needed one?
Woot! I’m so excited to share the second book in the Aegis Security series with you. Navy SEAL Bodyguard features Spence Lloyd, a SEAL building a new life after leaving the team, and his first assignment: going undercover to protect the daughter of his commanding officer.
And while Spence is skilled at all things under the covers, working undercover means lying to a woman he’s seriously attracted to. This was a fun conflict to write, as was one of the main challenges that Spence and Mia have in common: parental meddling. Aah, parental meddling... Her father, his mother and all those behind-the-scenes attempts to interfere in their adult children’s lives. Not that I have any personal experience with that, of course. I enjoyed combining that family vibe while writing these intense characters. As much fun was weaving in the luxurious locations, the fancy charity events and, one of my personal favorite topics, obsessive planning, along with the twisted turns of suspense and betrayal.
I really hope that you enjoy the story and all of these elements. And after Navy SEAL Bodyguard, I hope that you’ll check out the rest of the Aegis Security series, as well as my other books. I’m looking forward to sharing many more stories with you and can’t wait to hear what you think. Feel free to stop by my website, tawnyweber.com, where you can check out my books, subscribe to my newsletter and enjoy lots of romance-addicting fun.
All my best,

“Is everything in place?”
“It will be. I’ve got Mia Cade just where I want her. A few more days at the most and she’ll be our conduit to Senator Penz.”
“Perfect. Penz has no idea what’s going to hit him.”
“And Mia? When you murder the senator? What’ll happen to her?”
“Señorita Cade is our—what’s the term? Fall guy? First we use her to lure in Penz. Then we eliminate her in a simple murder-suicide. Loose ends are tidied, our enemies are dead and we are avenged.”
“Poor Mia won’t know what hit her. It just goes to show that it never pays to be a do-gooder.” Laughter rang through the phone line, cold and vicious.
