Scarlett Ashford needs a date for her father's wedding to the step mother from hell. But not just any date, preferably a bodyguard who can keep the lecherous Edward away from her once and for all. Viewed by the world as a pampered princess from a wealthy family, nobody knows the true Scarlett as she struggles with trying to please her father, and trying to be the person she wants to be. Maybe hiring her own date for this wedding is the first step to reclaiming her life.

Enter Jackson Grayson. Having worked his way out of poverty and an abusive childhood, he now runs a successful security company with his two brothers. When he sets eyes on Scarlett he has no problem playing the role of protective boyfriend for an evening. But what neither of them expected is the explosive chemistry that exists between them.

As lust takes over, Jackson is risking the reputation of his company, and Scarlett is throwing caution to the wind and having a one night stand for the first time in her life. But what happens when once is not enough? And when two people come from two such different worlds, can lust ever turn into love?

For an enjoyable, sexy romance with loveable characters, then look no further than HOLD ME UNTIL MIDNIGHT by Christina Phillips, and I cannot wait to read about Jackson's brothers!

Book Summary

Every good girl loves a very bad boy...

Scarlett Ashford needs a date for her father's wedding. Only she doesn't just need a guy in a suit-she needs a bodyguard. The only problem is that Jackson Grayson is big and gorgeous and way too sexy. So much so that Scarlett's tempted to let this hot bad boy ruin her oh-so-good reputation...

Jackson doesn't do relationships and he certainly doesn't sleep with clients. Yet he can't fight their inconvenient attraction, or how badly he wants Scarlett's warm and wicked curves against his body. He wants her. Now. Even if it's just for one night, and even if walking away the next morning isn't as easy as he thought.

Besides, one hot and incredibly intense night between a bad boy and a pampered princess could never turn into something real...could it?
