Protecting the Girl Next Door was originally published as Forever Bound. It has since been expanded, revised, and re-edited.
I like women, and I like adventure. I always have. The last thing I want to do is settle down with the girl next door and live a boring, domestic life. So I have no idea what I’m doing here, posing as a first-grade teacher.
It’s the most ridiculous undercover security job I’ve ever had to work. Corralling a bunch of six-year-olds while I try to do my job and keep anyone from knowing how clueless I really am. I manage to fool everyone. Except Kristin.
She’s an actual teacher, and she’s determined to find out what I’m really doing here. She doesn’t trust me, and her daughter doesn’t like me. And the worst part is that I’m starting to like them. A lot.
So now, instead of being the tough guy, I’m stuck with rowdy children and Christmas pageants and falling in love. It’s not the way I thought I’d spend Christmas.

Declan is a “guys guy” he likes the adrenaline rush and living the single life. There was a moment of panic when he was told he had to go undercover as a first grade teacher. He had his work cut out for him with one of his students and her mom, Kristen making this assignment harder on him.
In high school Declan was torn between the girl next door and the bad girl now he had found himself the perfect combination in Kristen. They say that when you find the one you want to become a better man for her and this is the case in this story. He goes through tremendous amounts of growth throughout the story that made me love him even more.

The story of my life isn’t pretty. I come from the wrong side of the tracks. I’ve been a criminal. I’ve been homeless. I almost killed my father, and I might be responsible for the death of my best friend.
I should not be wanting Evangeline.
Her life story is the stuff of dreams. She’s America’s sweetheart – beautiful, talented, and famous – and she doesn’t want anything to do with me. I’ll protect her from a stalker since it’s my job, but that’s all I’m allowed. No touching, no lusting, no falling in love. I’m all wrong for her, and she’s completely off-limits.
But I’ve never been good about following the rules.

THIS book you guys! This book had me so in the story. I was reading it at work and I kept talking out loud to the book. The people who sit near me kept asking me what I was talking about. I figured out who the stalker was and as they kept talking about suspects I was saying, “No, that not them! Come on guys!”
Now lets talk about Cole. He is so rough and stubborn, but there is so much more to him. He hasn’t had the best life and he went into this assignment to protect an actress with a HUGE amount of prejudice. I felt bad for Evangeline at first because he walked into her life with an attitude. I did have to laugh out loud when he was acting immature and messing up her name on purpose. I was happy that she stood up to him.
I was on the edge of my seat at times as the stalker got more involved in the story. I guess the one good thing that came from the stalker was that Cole and Evangeline had to spend time together and the more time they spent the more they talked and it helped Cole with his prejudice.
This is a fantastic story and when it was over I was sad because the series was ending and I am going to miss these guys.
The full series is out now and book one is FREE!
