Anna Depalo (Author)

Book Description

Series: Silhouette Desire | Publication Date: March 1, 2005

"Hello, princess."

She was a grown woman and a successful prosecutor, yet Connor Rafferty's raffish greeting made Allison Whittaker feel like that privileged teen he'd hauled from a blue-collar bar years before. It seemed that her family had employed the security tycoon's services to safeguard her from recent death threats. Well, she could take care of herself.

It was his kiss she could hardly handle.

His barely restrained ardor should have been her warning never to let him move into her home, mere footsteps from her bedroom. After all, he'd featured prominently in her fantasies, even though he'd resisted being anything other than brotherly toward her. Until now. When neither of them could afford to be distracted . . . .

Alison is a prosecutor at the DA's office who has started getting death threats. Connor is the college buddy of her brother and bodyguard hired by her family to protect her. What Connor doesn't know that Alison has had a crush on him since her teenage years. She's also carried a lot of animosity from those teen years since he found her in a bar, carried her out and ratted her out to her parents. She was actually there to catch a glimpse of him and has been holding a grudge for years. Alison doesn't believe she needs his services but agrees when the threats get worse.

Connor takes one look at the grown up Alison and knows he has to be with her. He moves in to protect her and soon the bickering and tension is turning into something more. They have a lot of sexual chemistry, but can they get along and does Alison see him as below her in class.

This is a pretty good book, although I've read the same basic story (different books and characters) before. The only thing missing is some originality, but still it is a good enough book.

Allison Whittaker is a successful prosecutor in the DA's office who has had threats made against her. Connor Rafferty is a self-made millionaire security specialist, and a friend of the family. Her wealthy family wants to keep her safe, so her brother "hires" Connor to protect her until the threats are resolved. Against her wishes, Connor moves in with Allison to protect her, and sparks fly. After that, it's a battle between them that they ultimately both win.

Under the Tycoon's Protection is the second of four books by Anna Depalo featuring the Whittaker siblings - Quentin, Allison, Noah and Matt. The other books in order are 1. Having the Tycoon's Baby; 2. Under the Tycoon's Protection; 3. Tycoon Takes Revenge; and 4. Captivated by the Tycoon.
