About Kolby
A radio celebrity and the bodyguard hired to protect her are trapped in the mountains as her stalker closes in.
Over the last year, Ivy Manning has become a household name. In a few short months, she went from small-time advice columnist to juggling book tours and talk show appearances. But her newfound fame isn’t without its dark side. A stalker is making dangerous threats, prompting Ivy’s management team to hire a bodyguard to protect her.
Playing bodyguard to a rich girl was not an assignment Kolby Rutherford ever wanted. Yet he’s about to get more one-on-one with the sexy celebrity than he bargained for. When a plane crash strands them in the mountains, they’re forced to lean on each other to survive. Can they escape the dangers found in the rugged terrain? Or will growing feelings put them both in a far more vulnerable situation?
