Ellen Callahan is a single mom who lives in Camelot, Ohio with her adorable son Henry. Ellen's brother Jamie is a world famous pop-star who had a brief fling with her next door neighbor Carly; who just happens to be pregnant with another man's baby. As a result, the paparazzi have taken up residence on Ellen's quiet cul-de-sac, tormenting her day and night, hoping for a picture of her, Henry, Carly, or Jamie.

Caleb Clark has recently returned home to Camelot from a 15 year stint in the Army and opened a security firm. He has been contracted by Jamie Callahan to provide security to Ellen, Henry, and Carly, protecting them from the paparazzi and anybody else who may try to get too close.

Caleb knows he is in trouble the first time he lays eyes on Ellen. She is engaged in verbal battle with a member of the paparazzi and Caleb is enthralled by her acerbic wit and beauty. Ellen is attracted to Caleb as well, but after years of being always put behind her brother growing up and then being married to a man that constantly put her down; she is afraid to allow herself to get involved. She's afraid to lose her sense of self. When Ellen and Caleb finally give in to their attraction, Ellen insists it can only be a physical relationship, but Caleb keeps negotiations open.

Book Summary

Ruthie Knox’s Camelot series continues in this sizzling eBook original novel, featuring two headstrong souls who bump heads—and bodies—as temptation and lust bring nothing but delicious trouble.

An accomplished lawyer and driven single mother, Ellen Callahan isn’t looking for any help. She’s doing just fine on her own. So Ellen’s more than a little peeved when her brother, an international pop star, hires a security guard to protect her from a prying press that will stop at nothing to dig up dirt on him. But when the tanned and toned Caleb Clark shows up at her door, Ellen might just have to plead the fifth.

Back home after a deployment in Iraq and looking for work as a civilian, Caleb signs on as Ellen’s bodyguard. After combat in the hot desert sun, this job should be a breeze. But guarding the willful beauty is harder than he imagined—and Caleb can’t resist the temptation to mix business with pleasure. With their desires growing more undeniable by the day, Ellen and Caleb give in to an evening of steamy passion. But will they ever be able to share more than just a one-night stand?
