Cherry on Top

Yuri Kiselyov survived the lowest rungs of the underworld by staying invisible and never stepping out of line. But protecting Chariot "Cherry" Goodnight—North America's biggest sports icon—is a danger of an entirely different order. From their very first encounter, Cherry comes on strong with relentless flirting, right up until he uncovers Yuri's criminal history. Then the charm curdles into open contempt, and the cold shoulder turns cutting. Yet when a deadly contract turns a personal vendetta into a high-stakes protection detail, mutual loathing becomes the least of their concerns. Cherry may despise Yuri's very presence, but he also can't seem to keep his hands off him. Trapped in the role of bodyguard to a man who hates his guts, Yuri must keep Cherry alive—and untangle where pure enmity ends and dangerous attraction begins.
