Synopsis

“White-hot action and sizzling sensuality power...[the] high-octane, blow-out finale” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) of New York Times bestselling author Christina Dodd’s thrilling Lost Hearts romantic suspense series.

Caitlin Prescott was only a baby when her parents disappeared. Adopted by a wealthy Texas oil family, she became Kate Montgomery and grew up with no memory of her parents or siblings, who have been searching for her, hoping to right a terrible wrong that was committed twenty-two years ago in a small Texas town.

Now an ambitious young news reporter, Kate realizes she is being stalked soon after landing her dream job at an Austin TV station. Why did a car try to run her down? Who would want to kill her? Turning her precarious situation into a story, she takes on a bodyguard and follows him on the job. But she didn’t plan on the cool, blade-sharp strength of Teague Ramos or the attraction that sizzles between them. When Teague connects the death of an Austin socialite to unanswered questions about Kate’s childhood, she finds herself unlocking dangerous doors to her past. Now, with only her mysterious bodyguard to protect her, Kate is on a high-stakes chase that may lead her to the family she has never known—or into the trap of a ruthless killer.

Now, read an excerpt of CLOSE TO YOU: Lost Hearts #3: Teague looked across the formally decorated ballroom at Kate, elegant in her ankle-length red shantung silk sheath and strappy gold sandals.
She seemed to feel his gaze on her. She turned away from her conversation, and she met his eyes. Her lashes drooped. She smiled with such implicit invitation, Teague took a step before he realized it.
But no. She was on a date with a lawyer, a proper man who fit into her social class. Teague was nothing but her bodyguard. He needed to remember where he came from. What he'd done. The gray shadows of the past started to envelop him, and for the first time in his life, he encouraged them... In his mind, his mother's voice started: Goddamn it, Teague, you little bastard...
Then Kate did something Teague never could have anticipated. She slid her palm down her hip, smoothing the red silk until the thin material was taut against her skin.
Heat flashed through him, burning all the old memories away.
Kate looked...it looked as if...but no. That was impossible. She would never do as he had demanded. She would never leave off her thong.
If she did, she would sure as hell never tell him in the middle of a party when he could do nothing about it. That would be too cruel a revenge for his ultimatum.
Her eyelids fluttered up; she looked at him with the sultry invitation of a temptress. And she mouthed: No panties.
