Prim and proper Juliet Rose Astor Lowell doesn`t want her body guarded by anyone while she`s in New Orleans for the grand opening of Daddy`s new hotel - especially not by consummate macho cop Beau Dupree. He`s just too big, too pushy, too virile, ! His shameless, hungry-eyed gaze shakes her carefully cultivated decorum like no one ever has, but Juliet is a Lowell - and there`s no way she`s going to lose control! The lady is downright delectable, but Beau has more important things to do than babysit a beautiful Yankee rich girl. So he decides to get himself pulled off of the assignment by driving the oh-so-proper socialite beyond the bounds of her good-girl restraints. But who would have thought that real passion sizzled beneath Juliet`s polish? When she lets her hair down, she just might prove to be more than enough woman to handle Beau - but will he be able to handle her?
