DEFENDING HONOR EXCERPT:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chapter 1<\/strong><\/p>\n

SUNDAY, 7:00 P.M.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Laila Rabbinowitz tossed the binoculars onto the passenger seat and stifled a shudder. Jesse Cora, the man she was charged with protecting, had turned out to be a lying creep who didn\u2019t give a second thought about stepping out on his marriage.<\/p>\n

Ten showers couldn\u2019t wash off the disgust smothering her like a blanket. But as a professional bodyguard, she didn\u2019t get paid to judge people\u2019s actions.<\/p>\n

She just had to keep the man breathing. Once his wife got ahold of him\u2026well, that wasn\u2019t Laila\u2019s problem.<\/p>\n

Anabelle Cora was the one footing the bill for the protection detail. The wealthy woman\u2019s fourth husband had received suspicious text messages from an alleged stalker. When his wife had pressed him to be careful, Jesse had dismissed the danger. Worried sick, Anabelle had hired a bodyguard from the Elite Guardians Agency and simply not told him. Covert\u00a0 operations weren\u2019t Laila\u2019s favorite. She\u2019d done enough stakeouts in her former role as a Mossad agent. Memories sprang up but were instantly dismissed. She\u2019d long since left that life behind after moving to Columbia, South Carolina, to take a job with the Elite Guardians.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo not let him catch you following him,\u201d Anabelle had warned her after their first meeting.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course not,\u201d Laila had promised. Which was why she found herself in this unpleasant situation\u2014hiding out in her car, stalking the man she was supposed to protect from a stalker.<\/p>\n

Jesse had told his wife he\u2019d be working late but had instead headed to a hotel to rendezvous with a woman who appeared to be a much younger blonde wearing a little black dress and three-inch spiked heels.<\/p>\n

Laila sighed. Why wasn\u2019t Anabelle suspicious of a husband that worked late on a Sunday evening? The woman would rather believe her husband was being stalked than admit the truth.<\/p>\n

Babysitting the rich and elite ranked right up there with getting a root canal, but Laila had found a parking spot in front of the swanky hotel with an excellent view of the penthouse suite and waited. The hotel looked like it would cost more than her monthly rent for a one- night stay. At least they hadn\u2019t opted for some pay-by-the-hour seedy place.<\/p>\n

Movement from the room made her reach for the binoculars. People should close their blinds. Thankfully, Jesse and his mistress didn\u2019t bother. Not that she wanted a front row seat to this show, but another peek through the binoculars confirmed her initial impression. Jesse was a money-grubbing cheat. He crossed through the room and wrapped his arms around the
woman who clearly wasn\u2019t his wife.<\/p>\n

Laila didn\u2019t want to watch any more, but she traded the binoculars for a high-powered zoom lens and snapped a few incriminating shots. If Jesse denied his actions, well\u2026<\/p>\n

The philandering trophy husband was half the age of Anabelle. Again, not your problem, Laila. Do your job and keep your opinions out of it.<\/p>\n

Her stiff shoulders begged for a good workout. What she wouldn\u2019t give to be in the boxing ring at the gym, releasing some of her pent-up energy by sparring with anyone who dared take her on.<\/p>\n

\"\"Sami A. Abrams<\/b> grew up hating to read. It wasn’t until her 30s that she found authors who captured her attention. Now, most evenings you can find her engrossed in a romantic suspense novel. In her opinion, a crime plus a little romance is the recipe for a great story. Sami lives in Northern California, but she will always be a Kansas girl at heart. She has a love of sports, family, and travel. However, a cabin at Lake Tahoe writing her next story is definitely at the top of her list.<\/p>\n
