The hero and heroine come to life with each flip of the page and will linger long after readers cross the finish line.' -*RT Book Reviews*, 4 ½ Stars Top Pick (Hot) A romantic tale featuring a thrilling pursuit and enough passion to stuff in your back pocket to last for the next few lifetimes, *Fiancé by Friday* is reminiscent of The Bodyguard, but way better because this story embraces unique personalities and they do not impede upon the plot. 'In this fantastic Weekday Brides installment, Bybee knows exactly how to keep readers happy. While the pace lags mid-novel, it regains momentum, and the intriguing characters add emotional depth, ensuring readers will race to the perfectly fitting finish. Inexplicable security breaches, electrocuted neighbors, dead birds, and an implausible suicide propel Neil to whisk Gwen away from a revenge-seeking stalker, and the closeness of the on-the-run, off-the-grid adventure sparks passionate lovemaking. Former Marine Neil is not immune to the ravishing Gwen, but haunting recurring nightmares of military mission gone awry and a reluctance to mix pleasure with business lead him to suppress his feelings. After securing a new client for Alliance, a matchmaking service for the wealthy, socialite Lady Gwen Harrison returns to her state-of-the-art monitored home to once again unsuccessfully flirt with her bodyguard, Neil MacBain. In the sizzling third Weekday Brides contemporary (after *Married by Monday* and *Wife by Wednesday*), Bybee takes an elegant titled lady, a dark emotionally guarded hero, a menacing stalker, and a cast of distinctive characters mixing it all up into an unusual courtship tale full of danger and sexual tension. Now to keep her safe he will risk it all: his career, his life…and his heart.

But as a client, Gwen is off-limits-until a threat from Neil’s past returns…and Gwen is caught in the crossfire. The retired Marine can’t deny the effect blue-blooded Gwen has on his troubled soul or his battle-hardened body. Will the enigmatic man who haunts her dreams cost her more than she bargained for?

But just because she’s the boss doesn’t mean she can’t fantasize about making her own perfect match with bodyguard Neil MacBain. The beautiful, high-born daughter of an English duke came to America to take over her sister-in-law’s matchmaking business.
