A macho New Orleans cop must protect a goody two-shoes Boston socialite in this opposites-attract romance by a New York Times–bestselling author. Proper Boston Brahmin Juliet Rose Astor Lowell doesn’t want her body guarded by anyone while she’s in New Orleans for the grand opening of Daddy’s new hotel—especially not by macho cop Beau Dupree. He’s too big, too pushy, too virile, too . . . everything! His shameless, hungry-eyed gaze shakes her carefully cultivated decorum. But Juliet is a Lowell—and there’s no way she’s ever going to lose control! Beau has more important things to do than babysit a beautiful Yankee rich girl. By driving the well-mannered socialite beyond the bounds of her good-girl restraints, he figures he can get himself pulled off the assignment.
