JACK’S CHRISTMAS MISSION

Chattanooga talk show hostess, Peggy Jo Riley is badly in need of a Protector.  She’s being harassed and stalked by someone, and each day the threats are becoming more vicious.

Out of concern, her agent hires the Dundee Security Agency to step in and provide protection.  Help comes in the form of sexy agent Jack Parker but there’s just one small problem, Jack doesn’t want the job.  He is not interested in dealing with any “man-hating feminist”.  He knows he fits the mold of the type of man Peggy Jo warns women about on her show.  Given her attitude about this kind of man, Jack feels she would be a hard client to protect.

Peggy Jo has definite issues with men due to a father that ignored her and an abusive ex-husband.  However having Agent Parker in her life twenty-four hours a day, handsome as sin and displaying none of the traits she’s use to from men, is very confusing. Jack is not what she expected and his loving, sensuous manner is playing havoc with her senses.

While Jack zeroes in on the stalker, the relationship between he and Peggy Jo heats up.  With the Christmas holidays fast approaching, Jack wants very much to put an end to the terror in Peggy Jo’s life. He wants to move on to a more permanent relationship, but Peggy Jo may not be envisioning the same happy ending that he is.

JACK’S CHRISTMAS MISSION is Beverly Barton’s latest installment in The Protectors series.  Readers first met Jack Parker in SWEET CAROLINE’S KEEPER and there was never a doubt that his story was going to be a good one!  His  “love ‘em and leave ‘em” attitude made his character all the more intriguing.  It is very refreshing to read about a hero that realizes fast he’s going down for the count and succumbs with grace.
