Shohn: A Contemporary Romance Novella (The Buckhorn Brothers) Read online

  So she finally had a use for him again? No, he wouldn’t be that easy, not this time. But he had questions, a million of them.

  Looking back at his boss, Miles said, “Give us a minute, will you?”

  She smiled down at him. “Not on your life.”

  He recognized that inflexible expression well enough. Sahara Silver did what she wanted, when she wanted. The lady was born to be a boss. In medieval times, she probably would have carried a whip. Still, he tried. “If she’s here to see me—”

  “She’s here to hire you.”

  Hire him? He turned back to Maxi and got her timid nod. Skeptical, he clarified, “As a bodyguard?”

  “Yes.”

  Since when did a woman need to be protected from a hangover? Did he want to be involved with that?

  Now that he worked at the Body Armor agency, did he have a choice?

  Sahara ruled with a small iron fist and she, at least, seemed taken in by Maxi’s farfetched tale. If Sahara took the contract, he might not have much say in it.

  And who was he kidding? Much as he’d like to deny it, territorial tendencies had sparked back to life the second he saw Maxi again. In his gut, he knew he was happy—even relieved—to again have her within reach.

  Maybe because she was the one who got away, or the one who hadn’t been all that hung up on him in the first place…
