Hunter (Bourne Bodyguards 3)

By Mandy Morgan

He's charming, kind, built like a tank, and will do anything to keep her safe... 

Come and meet the men of Bourne Protective Services. And the women they're born to protect.

Hunter
My brothers-in-arms at Bourne Protective Services call me the Peacemaker.
What can I say? I try to make sure everyone gets along and I love Westerns.
Maybe that's why I'm taking what's going on with Amelia Clark so personally.
She's just trying to live her best life when her crazy ex-stepbrother comes back.
If he thinks I'm going to let him hurt or take advantage of her, he really is nuts.
Of course, that has nothing to do with how her curves make ME insane, right?

Amelia
Being a female lab tech in a male-dominated industry is far from easy.
I've worked hard to get where I am and earn the respect of the hospital staff.
Which is what makes Kyle coming around so frustrating and frightening for me.
I thought I'd banished him from my life, but no such luck, and now he won't leave.
That's why I turned to Bourne Protective Services and Hunter Murphy for help.
Now, if only I can keep my eyes off Hunter's muscles, and on my lab equipment...

Chapter One

Amelia

Amelia Clark?

I was busy analyzing a patient’s blood sample when I heard a deep voice coming from behind me. I gasped and spun around, almost dropping the glass storage tube in my hand.

Sexy men with muscles that wouldn’t quit were a rare sight in the ground-floor laboratory of All Saints Hospital. Besides, I hadn’t been sleeping well lately, so I was lucky I hadn’t made a huge mess.

Yes, that’s me, I said, cringing a bit at how squeaky I sounded. Can I help you?

"Actually, I’m here to help you, Miss Clark."

He stood over six feet tall and looked powerful enough to stop a train. I had no doubt he could help anyone he wanted to, and in any way, but I had no idea what that had to do with me.

I thought about shrinking away from him as he approached. He was holding out a hand that looked big enough to crush a skull, after all.

But he was also wearing a kind smile and had a pair of the warmest brown eyes I’d ever seen, so I stayed put and shook his hand, trying to ignore how the touch made me shiver a bit.

My name is Hunter Murphy. I’m a member of the Bourne Protective Services team. Mason and Blair asked me to stop by and speak with you.

I heaved a sigh of relief. I’d never met him before, but if he was a part of BPS, I knew I could take comfort in knowing he was no strange psycho out to hurt me.

My relief was short-lived as it dawned on me that Blair had gone behind my back to send a bodyguard to me, since I’d decided I wasn’t going to hire one myself.

I’d been having trouble with my former stepbrother, Kyle, and Blair had walked in on him harassing me in the lab a few days ago. My friend had wanted me to go to BPS right then and had given me one of their business cards.

But I’d written off the ER nurse’s concern, figuring Kyle would get bored and move on, and I hadn’t heard from him since. Which meant this hulking hunk was wasting his time.

Not that I was complaining, by any means. I mean, who wouldn’t enjoy their workday being interrupted by a piece of eye candy like Hunter Murphy? But I knew I had to do the right thing and let us both get back to our jobs.

I really appreciate you taking the time to come down here, Mr. Murphy, but I’m no longer having any issues.

His handsome face grew serious. Mason was pretty adamant about you needing someone to watch out for you. I can’t just leave without at least learning the details of your situation.

Hunter had the look of someone who didn’t take no for an answer from anyone. Besides, I wanted to get him out of here before Luna came back from running an errand to another part of the hospital.

My best friend and fellow lab tech was
