Tough Break (Coogan's Break Series, #9) / Coogan's Break Series (ePub)

She's a plus-size model who's in danger of having her career and life derailed. He's in the business of making sure people play nice, whether they want to, or not.

PHOEBE
I should be out celebrating making the cover of Sports Fan Magazine, and in a bikini, no less. Instead, I'm hiding out in my hotel room, jumping at the slightest sound.

It hasn't always been this way, but with fame, came the crazies. Men who think I'm destined to be theirs, even if this would see us living in their mom's basement.

Wyatt Cassidy, Head of Security at Maddigan's, is anything but crazy. He's tough, he's hot, and he's confident, especially about his ability to keep me safe. But for him to do that, I'll have to leave my room.

The questions I'm facing now are, do I trust him enough to follow him through that steel door at the back of the hotel's underground car park? And do I trust myself to keep my hands off him?

WYATT
When my boss at Maddigan's Resort and Spa says he has a special assignment for me, he isn't kidding. However, she's more than special. She's perfect. Perfect for me, that is.

Before meeting Phoebe Jackson, I think she's just out for attention when she says she's in danger. That's until I see the guy skulking outside her room, the one who takes off when he spots me.

I've been Head of Security at the hotel for too long to ignore the warning signs, and on showing Phoebe a screen-grab from the security camera, she confirms my suspicions. Apparently, the guy's backed her into a corner more than once, and he frightens her.

Experience also tells me I can't keep her safe in a hotel the size of Maddigan's. For that, we have to disappear. And if this sees us in self-imposed lock-down until he's stopped, I'm sure I can think of one or two things to keep us occupied.

If you're short on time but long for romance, you'll love this series of steamy, curvy girl, opposites attract romances. They can be read in any order you choose, there's a guaranteed HEA with no cheating, and no cliffhangers.
