Buddies know the unwritten rule:
hands off your friends’ sisters.

Duncan MacGregor is reluctant to team up with his best friend’s
little sister to search for her missing brother, but Bethany Redd’s
determination to go it alone doesn’t leave him much choice. A
Security Specialist, Duncan’s worked with plenty of beautiful
women, so hands off should be easy. Especially under the
circumstances...

Bethany literally carries the result of her last relationship, and she
blames pregnancy hormones for the absurd feelings she experiences
for her brother’s gorgeous friend, adding yet another complication to
her insanely complicated life. It’s her fault her brother disappeared, she has
yet to tell her parents they’re about to be grandparents, and she has
to prepare for the birth. Fall for Duncan? Now? Yeah, right.

As Bethany and Duncan battle their emotions and growing awareness of each other,
Bethany becomes the latest target for danger, leaving Duncan desperate to protect
her and her unborn child while searching for answers. Maybe Duncan came into
her life at the right time to keep her safe but in the end--will his failure to find her
brother tear them apart?
