The Protectors Series

One glance is all it takes From the moment his eyes meet hers across the crime–scene tape, ex–con turned bodyguard Quasar Patterson knows he has to see the mysterious Dr. Randi Fuller again. She's a renowned psychic investigator who can foresee danger for others, but not for herself. That makes Quasar doubly determined to watch over her – the closer, the better – as she's drawn into a dangerous gang rivalry. Both her psychic gift and their blinding chemistry tell Randi that she and Quasar are fated to be entwined. Even as they surrender to the heat between them, there's no guarantee of a happily–ever–after now that an enemy has her in his sights. And claiming a future will take more than Quasar's strength and skill. If he can't risk the heart he's always held in check, they'll both lose for good… “Leave it to Jackson to take sizzle and honour, wrap it in romance and come up with a first–rate tale.” – RT Book Reviews on Temptation
