In case you don't know.... the Passport to Romance is a series of contemporary romances that are set in specific locales and feature a special set of objects.
So here's Clare's Vegas Vacation!
Former protective services
officer, Sgt. Martin Ames, is five weeks short of medical retirement from the
Vegas PD when he lands one last case: spoiled English heiress, Lady Tamlyn
Bradshaw, whose bodyguard is hospitalized with suspected food poisoning.
Tamlyn is on holiday, her first
without her father and his ever present bodyguards. She wants to have fun, not
spend the time stuck in a hotel room with a disabled cop, even if he is tall,
dark and disturbingly handsome.
When food poisoning becomes
murder, passions and tempers flare as Martin attempts to keep Tamlyn safe from
the assailant who gains everything on her death.
Excerpt:
“Martin, you’re the only person
in the department with the security clearances and the experience to do this.”
“I haven’t worked protective
services for over three years and for good reason. I’m five weeks from early
retirement, and I don’t want to spend them running around after a spoiled
heiress.”
“Did I ask what you wanted? This
woman’s father is royalty and I just got off the phone with him—”
Tamlyn cringed in her seat, her
cheeks burning. This was a bad idea. She’d go back to the hotel and trust God
to protect her. No one knew who she was; she was just one more tourist in a
city of thousands.
The angry voice continued its
tirade in the office. “Royalty? In
that case, I’m sure she can afford a replacement bodyguard. Even better…ask the
British Embassy to provide one. My days of babysitting people are over.”
“Unless you want to be fired five
weeks before your retirement date, your assignment for the next three weeks is
to be Lady Bradshaw’s bodyguard. There’s the door. She’s by your desk waiting
for you.”
The door flung open, and Tamlyn
glanced down. She focused her gaze on her fingernails. Maybe she could just
pretend she hadn’t heard.
Heavy steps crossed the room as
muted conversations started up again. They stopped by the desk. “Lady Bradshaw, I presume?”
She looked up into the most
intense, glittering pair of blue eyes she’d ever seen. His hair was pulled back
in a long black ponytail, and he leaned on a cane. They had to be kidding. A disabled cop? His navy blue shirt and tie
at least gave an appearance of professionalism. Although the gun holster on his
shoulder made her shiver.
She stood, grateful he couldn’t
read her mind, because she was already regretting that first thought about his
gorgeous eyes. She held out a hand. “I am. You must be Sgt. Ames.”
