Her SEAL, Her Savior

Chapter 1

Even when she was wearing six-inch heels, Alasia Jackson didn’t come close to matching the height of the hulking blond man currently standing between her and the door.

"I need to get to sound check," she growled, narrowing her dark brown eyes and glaring up at him.

Zach didn’t respond, so she poked him in the center of his broad chest with one bright pink, manicured fingernail. This barely had an effect, either. He just cocked one light eyebrow and coolly informed her, You can get to sound check, ma’am, as soon as security goes over that wiring.

Alasia sighed and flounced across her spacious dressing room to the leather sofa, finally backing down from the fight. She flopped down onto the thick cushions and dug through the pockets of her skintight jeans for her phone. Flipping it to front view, she aimed the camera at herself for a quick selfie, making sure to catch Zach in frame.

Trying to get to sound check for all my fans in ABQ! Hope my bodyguard lets me out soon so I can rock ya’lls world! She captioned the photo and then posted it to her Instagram. Seconds later, likes and comments began pinging in.

My fans demand that you let me outta here, Zach, she said. A bunch of them got in for sound check and I cannot disappoint my fans.

Ma’am, it will just be a few more minutes. I’m sure this delay won’t affect your show tonight at all, he drawled in his thick Southern accent.

Alasia didn’t know what annoyed her more: Zach’s accent or his constant use of the word ma’am. She thought about it for a moment, then concluded that the most annoying thing about Zach was his mere existence. He’d only been appointed to her for less than twenty-four hours, but she was already fed up with the retired Navy SEAL’s oppressive presence.

Her normal security team, Laurence and Cajardo, always let her have her own way, and that’s the way Alasia liked it. She and her boys grew up in LA together, and she’d always been the queen bee. Now, however, Laurence and Cajardo were back in Houston in a hospital wing, recovering from a nasty bout of food poisoning.

Or at least that’s what the organizers of the Pop/Rock Explosion! Parade of Stars tour had told her.

It’s just food poisoning, Lay-Lay, Marty had said, but his eyes kept shifting away from hers. As if that wasn’t suspicious enough, Marty had immediately called in a favor from an old friend and snagged her a fearsome new bodyguard, Zachary Severtson, retired Navy SEAL, Southern gentleman and official pain-in-her-ass.

When Alasia had questioned Zach about the food poisoning incident, he’d remained stone-faced and only replied that it was classified information.

Considering the alleged food poisoning had happened when Laurence and Cajardo had devoured a box of gourmet truffles that had been sent to Alasia, she thought she deserved to know the truth, not get nailed with this classified information nonsense. Alasia may have majored in vocal music and not science or criminal justice, but she knew perfectly well that people didn’t get food poisoning from a box of candy.

The whole thing was shady beyond belief.

Ma’am, we just got word that the stage has been swept and everything is clear, Zach informed her and finally stepped away from the door. You’re free to head to sound check.

Alasia pushed passed him
