I will live by the code of conduct...but rules are meant to be broken.Speed junkie and bodyguard Lars Ivanov steps in to guard a famous race car driver just in time to rescue a beautiful French-American press agent from a bullet too. Guarding Lillian with his body is the easy part, but discovering who is out for her blood is another story. Personally, he thinks someone is just trying to shut the irritating woman up...and who knew that's as easy as kissing her?Lillian Delphine is only doing her job when she finds herself in the line of fire.
