Dear Reader (#uff2aa8e5-ec97-5de1-a331-cf4a6cef63ec),

I’m so excited to introduce the second book in my Body Armor series, featuring hot alpha males whose überprotective instincts are put to good use in their role as elite bodyguards.

Justice Wallington, the newest member of the Body Armor agency, is still getting used to his job in personal security, but he knows his background as an MMA heavyweight contender will help any client feel safe. What he doesn’t expect is the attraction he feels to Fallon Wade, the sheltered heiress he’s been hired to shadow. Distraction is the last thing he needs as he works to determine whether the danger to Fallon is real or a figment of her overprotective family’s imagination—but the closer he gets to discovering the truth, the more he finds himself wanting to keep her in his life for good, no matter the cost.

I hope you enjoy Justice and Fallon’s romance. And of course, you’re always welcome to reach out to me. I’m active on most social media forums, including Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Goodreads, and my email address is listed on my website at www.lorifoster.com (http://www.lorifoster.com).

Happy reading!
