Dangerous Protector
Federal Paranormal Unit 2
If you run from love, you're asking for a chase...
James Brock lived the past ten years without the woman he loves. Using his job as head of the Federal Paranormal Unit to help others, he's done a good job of ignoring his lack of a personal life until she returns. His salvation. His first love.
Cynthia Vega had a very good reason to leave the only man she loved after she'd accepted his marriage proposal. Now she's back as his boss. And he's not willing to ignore their chemistry or the past.
Brock is determined to claim his mate and prove that their passion is even hotter than before. He wants her and her explanation behind their separation. Except, some secrets won't stay buried in the past. Brock will fight his demons to follow her lead, but Cynthia's reluctance to explain their lost love may be the one key to their destruction...

Chapter
One
Galvez’s nostrils flared. Disgust
lit his eyes. Figures. He had never been the type for warm and cuddly
conversations. And the last thing Cynthia expected was for him to encourage
employee relationships. “He isn’t normal. He’s… He’s—”
“I know exactly what he is. If I
were you, I’d be very careful what you say about him.” She snapped her mouth
shut to keep from adding anything that could, and would get her fired. Dammit,
she’d just started the job.
She yanked on the handle to her
car. The metal creaked as it opened. Galvez placed a hand on the top of the
door, stopping her from moving it further.
“Look, Cici—”
“Don’t!” She hissed. “Only my
family calls me that. You’re my superior. Don’t get it confused. My accepting
your job offer doesn’t make us friends. It doesn’t make us buddies. It just
makes me your employee.”
“I’d like to think of us as more
than just employer-employee. Possibly move things to where they should be
between us.” His facial lines smoothed out. There was concern in his eyes for a
flash of a second. Then an iciness entered his gaze as she shook her head.
“I don’t think so. All we’ll ever
be is co-workers. Don’t confuse yourself.” She met Galvez’s stare with her own
angry glare. He should know by now that intimidation wouldn’t work on her.
Being raised by her grandmother, because her father had been missing in action,
had toughened her up. Especially when her mother was more trouble than she
wanted to think about. When her family’s reality finally hit her, some hard
choices had to be made. And the result had been losing the only man she’d
loved.
Galvez’s brow puckered. “If you
can’t handle working with Brock, for whatever reason, just tell me. I won’t
hold it against you.”
Yeah, she just bet he wouldn’t.
He’d recruited her as a test. To see her fail. She knew what he was after, but
she wouldn’t give it to him. He’d come to her. Right now, she had the upper
hand. An upper hand she wasn’t willing to lose.
CHARACTER INTERVIEW
Questions for Brock:
- How did you feel when Cynthia left 10 years ago? Completely at a loss and confused. We had an open relationship with no lies or communication problems. Or so I thought. It caught me off-guard to know she’d left.
- What did you think when Cynthia was back and now your boss? At first I was angry. I couldn’t believe she’d left, not said a word and then decided to show up. But the more I thought about it the more I realized I could use her return to my advantage. I loved her and the only way I would be happy was to keep her. Forever.
- What did you think of Cynthia's aunt when you went to look for her cousin? There’s strange people everywhere. Many would say we in the FPU are as strange as you get. But her aunt wasn’t strange. She was sick. There’s a difference. What I got from looking in her mind was like taking a bunch of different thoughts with no pattern that make no sense and constantly streaming them over and over again. She had no sense of reality. Her illness had taken complete control. As I stated to Cynthia. Those people who believe they’re being good while practicing evil can be the most dangerous.
Questions for Cynthia:
- How were you convinced to come back after 10 years? The truth was I missed James. I hung to words and file information to know how he was doing. Returning was more to ease my curiosity of seeing him. To see if my feelings were hanging on to something that wasn’t real. But the joke was on me. Not only did I still love him, but those feelings had grown through the years.
- Did you know you would become Brock's boss? At first the job wasn’t offered to lead. But to be part of. The thing was that they were worried about James. They knew he could destroy the entire Bureau if he felt like it. Galvez had made a case for bringing me in. He didn’t want someone volatile to be in charge any more.
- What did it feel like to be back in his presence and try to resist him? Hell. Absolute hell. As you can imagine just looking at him made me lose track of what I needed to say or do. He can be a bad influence on a woman’s mental stability.

Hi! I'm Milly (AKA April Angel) I love to write sexy stories.
They're usually either paranormal or contemporary with a large dose of heat. My
paranormal stories can be anything from wolf-shifters (my favorites) to
witches, demons and anything in between. I was born the prettiest part of the
Caribbean known as the Dominican Republic. Currently, I live in New York City
with my hubby, the bossy kiddo and our little dog "Needy Speedy".
Don't ask.
When I'm not working some really long hours at the day job, or
hanging out in the awful life-sucking invention known as Facebook, messaging my
bestie in the UK or shopping with my sis Julie, then I can be found watching
scary movies. Buuut when I'm not doing that, I'm usually writing because the
voices won't shut up.
I am addicted to shoe shopping, chocolate (but who isn't, right?)
and Dunkin' Donuts coffee.
Come by and visit me! I love to meet new readers!

I HEART BOOKS REVIEW
Review by Theresa Esterline
Stars: 5
OMG ... Brock is one POWERFUL protector
This is book #2 in the Federal Paranormal Unit series. Be sure to read Wolf Protector first to meet the team and read Erica and Trent's story.
The team is on to their next case. This one hits very close to home! The hero and heroine have a very strong history and are drawn to each other, but trying to keep the lines professional. The sexual tension is extremely high and unlike many Milly books, we have to wait quite a while for the lines to be crossed ;) But this isn't just about the sex scenes. This is a mystery... think Intelligence meets The Originals. There is a boss the team can't stand. There are bumbling idiots. There is a missing girl out there. The visions and nightmares about what may have happened keep you second guessing up to the end! And now a bit about the story...
Brock has just lead Galvez to another missing child. Luckily they found her in time and she was still alive! But when the agent who recovered the girl comes running out of the burning house he can't believe it - it is her! She had left him and now here she was back in his life! Cynthia Vega in the flesh. They both tried to ignore the other, until another case brought them together again. Cynthia's niece is missing and the local police aren't investigating. Come visit the small town of Holy Oaks and see what happens next. Trust me, Milly will not give you any mercy. ;)
Favorite passages:
- “Sorry, cariño, but there is no time to be worried about your delightful ass bouncing on the seat when we have to find a missing kid.”
- She rolled her eyes. “I’m your boss.” He grinned. “You’re my everything.”
- But it was useless. This man—this hybrid, was the only one who made her feel…anything.
- “You don’t only own my heart, love. You own me fully. There’s one thing you need to get through that beautiful head of yours,” he tapped her temple. “I’m not letting you go again. You’re mine, and you’re staying mine.”
- "Boss lady, how are you holding up with big and grumpy?" Ramirez greeted.
- Then they were going to have even more trouble because Ramirez would find out she was a screamer. Not something she needed him to know. Ever.
- Pleasure roared inside him. He tugged her closer, draping her on his lap. “The bureau doesn’t see it that way.” She rubbed her lips lightly over his. “That’s because they’re stupid. And scared. You’re big. Sexy. Strong. Too much for them to handle.” “You think I’m sexy, love?”
- She would never think of honey in the same way again. Ever.
- “I came to take back what’s mine.”
