"Sometimes even dangerous intentions work out great"

Scott Danger has agreed to one more assignment for Taggert Security. When this is over he is going to buy a cabin in the woods and finally try to find some peace. Peace seems to be an elusive thing not to be found in his line of business. All he has to do is bodyguard Kiley Chapman. When her uncle hires him, he knew that Kiley would fight him every step of the way. Ten years ago, Kiley had been kidnapped by a former boyfriend. She had barely survived. She still had flashbacks and nightmares. She was never going to give a man control over her again.

Kiley Chapman is a magazine editor looking for a hero. She needs a real life hero for an upcoming article. So she advertises and get some interesting candidates. When one of her interviews turn nasty, and he has her trapped in the corner, the door flies open and in walks Scott Danger. After he gets her out the dangerous situation, Kiley is amazed at how well he fits her hero profile. She is also terrified by Scott's mannerisms. They are too much like Barclay, her old sociopath boyfriend. There was no way she wanted to get involved with anyone like that again. Barclay had destroyed her life.

When her best friend and assistant is brutally attacked in Kiley's office, Scott decides not to leave Kiley's side. But then Kiley finds out that Scott has been hired to protect her, she is furious and demands that he be removed. Scott and Kiley both try to fight their growing desires, but as the dangers increases so does their desire.

DANGEROUS INTENTIONS is an excellent suspense-filled romance. I have read several of Ms. Agnew's novels and she has never failed to get my full attention with her skillful crafting of the words. Although you know who the enemy is, there are surprises around every page. The tension between Scott and Kiley is constantly sexually charged. Even the secondary characters are fully developed, they are witty and make you want to read more about them. I loved the way the romance developed between Scott and Kiley. Once I started reading I couldn't put DANGEROUS INTENTIONS down until I turned the last page. Thank goodness there is a sequel TREACHEROUS WISHES. Highly recommend.

Sensuality: Rated R by the publisher. Moderately explicit sex.
