About the Book

She’ll have to pretend to be his wife to save his life…but what will it cost her heart?

Laila Rabbinowitz is all business. Tough and stoic, she was the perfect Mossad agent…until a terrible betrayal led to her worst nightmare. Being a bodyguard with the Elite Guardians allows her to keep her heart safe—she’ll never let anyone close enough to betray her again. And she’s certainly not going to trust anyone who doesn’t earn it.

Billionaire and former playboy Preston Whittaker walked away from his famous family after a terrible event, but then his father and brother are killed in a suspicious boating accident. Since he’s next in line to helm the family business, now someone wants him dead. Preston needs someone by his side 24/7, and the only solution is a fake marriage.

In order to keep him safe, Laila will have to convince everyone that she and Preston are in love. She’s used to putting her life on the line for a client. But what will this case cost her heart?

In My Opinion

If you enjoy romantic suspense reads with plenty of suspects, strong females, and intense action, Defending Honor by Lynette Eason and Kelly Underwood is just the book for you (as is the entire Elite Guardians series).

In the third installment of the series, readers get to know Laila. This member of the team is the all business, no-nonsense, get the job done, in-and-out type. So when she is assigned to protect former playboy Preston Whittaker and thrown into a fake marriage, the proximity to her client pushes her to reveal some of her best kept secrets—and deepest hurts.

Eason and Underwood ramp up the stakes with numerous attempts to harm the people Preston loves and the growing attraction between Laila and Preston. And while I guessed the culprit before the end, I did go through several other options before eliminating the true villain.

You don’t want to miss this series.
