She glared at me, but a corner of her mouth was quirking up, making me grin because I knew I’dwon.

“I’ve got a lunch and meetings the rest of the day, so I won’t see you until tonight. I’ll meet you at home by six. Jessa will get you the address.”

She rolled her eyes and turned around to walk away, jumping a little when I gave her a firm smack on her perfectass.

“It can’t get backto the studio that I’m in danger, Xander.”

I looked up from the file I was reading to study the new client in my office. He was a blonde, blue-eyed, boy next door type. Ewan McKendry was extremely fit and obnoxiously pretty. Which was a huge part of what made him a successful movie star. He was a decent actor, too.

“They’ll put me in fucking lockup until my contract is done. Or, they’ll stick me with the same fucking idiots they sent last time. I need someone who can protect me and do it under the radar.”

“No problem,” I assured him. “I think Quinn would be a great option.”

Ewan shook his head. “No, I want a female.”

I only had a handful of women working for me. I’d need to go through their files and find a match. “Okay, I’ll find the right—”

“I already found her,” Ewan interrupted. “I’m a client of Rhys Campbell, and he mentioned that you just hired a female security specialist who is one of the best in the business. I guess he talked to some woman he knows who used to be CIA? It’s a perfect situation because she can pose as my girlfriend.”

Rhys was a fucking dead man. And, Evie had just earned herself a prominent position on my shit list for a while, too.

“I’ll have to check her availabil—” I started, but he cut me off again.

“We ran into each other in the hallway, and she said her schedule was free. So, set it up, okay?” He stood and reached across the desk to shake my hand, clearly done with the discussion.

My jaw clenched, and I ground my teeth together as I shook his hand. “I’ll take care ofit.”

Ewan nodded and flashed his multimillion dollar smile, which only made me want to kick his ass, before walking out thedoor.

I followed his path and stepped into the waiting area, scowling at Jessa. I would have felt sorry for the fact that she’d been in the path of my wrath later, but at that moment, I didn’t give a fuck about anything but ripping my friend a new asshole.

“Get me Rhys Campbell on the phone.” An evil smile curved my lips. “No, better yet, get his wife on the phone.”
