Kai

Spring in Jersey is sweet—until secrets make it dangerous.

Mary Donahue likes order. As a spirited first-grade teacher at a strict Catholic school, she has lesson plans for everything… except the brooding bodyguard who keeps showing up in her life.
Kai Montego is off duty and out of options. But when he sees the fiery redhead from the Valentine’s dance being harassed by a powerful school donor, instincts take over—and fists fly.
To cover the fallout, they agree to fake a relationship for the school’s spring fundraiser.
Easy. Harmless. Temporary.
Except Mary is everything Kai never knew he wanted—sharp, curvy, impossible to ignore—and pretending is getting harder by the second.
But danger’s not done with her yet, and Kai isn’t leaving her side.
One growly bodyguard.
One no-nonsense teacher.
One fake dating scheme about to get way too real.
This spring, love might just be the riskiest mission of all.

Series Reviews

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”Kai didn’t expect to fall in love when he defended Mary. The teasing between Kai and Ego is great. Mary, being a curvy gal, didn’t think a hunk like Kai would fall for her. Sister Agnes and Father Peter are great characters. You don’t want to miss this exciting, face paced book.” Bookbub Reviewer
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Kai and Mary are book 3 in the Sigma International series of books by CD Gorri. It’s full of snark, laughter, hit sex and a criminal who mistakenly thinks he can go after Mary and get away with it ! The guys from Sigma make sure he sees the error of his ways! I love how all of the men, even the senior Volkovs, and Callahan get in on the take down. Love all of the characters in these books! 5✨’s for a book full of everything I love in Action-Adventure Romance.” ARC Team Reviewer
