Beautiful model London Dumont does not need another man in a suit telling her what to do.
She just escaped one disastrous relationship—thanks, Mother—and now she’s focused on repotting her succulents, getting through her to-be-read pile, and celibacy.
What she didn’t plan for?
The tall, too-serious bodyguard who steps between her and trouble with the offer of a fake-boyfriend alibi. Taggart McKenna is the kind of man who uses words like “target” and “tactical evasion” at barbecues. He treats surveillance like a love language. Not the kind of man she would ever date—or fake-date. No.
But somehow, he’s now holding her hand in front of her disapproving mother, making her tea without asking, and sleeping—fully clothed, maddeningly close—on the world’s smallest couch while she definitely does not wonder what he’d do if she invited him into her bed instead.
Those big, capable, protective hands… No. Definitely not.
It’s just a temporary arrangement. Strictly tactical. No one is catching feelings here.
London’s all sparkle. Taggart’s all strategy. And everyone knows glitter and gunpowder don’t mix.
Until they do.
AFTER DARK is a slow-burn, laugh-out-loud romantic comedy about a fake relationship, one overinvested mother, and the unexpectedly swoony bodyguard who turns “just until things settle down” into something dangerously close to forever.
AFTER DARK is the sixth installment in bestselling author Susan Amanda Kelly's hit Accidental Attractions series.

This book has danger, suspence, twist, keeping you turning the pages to read what happens next,until the last chapter, looking forward to reading more books from this author
I normally do not leave reviews, but felt this book warranted one. I have not read this author before, so if this is a sample of her writings, she and I are going to become friends. What I am reviewing (rather than the play by play on the storyline) is the fact that this book involved and kept my attention, and I was not bothered by errors that can hinder your enjoyment in reading the story. This says a lot about the professionalism of the author and her team to make her writing smooth for her readers. I especially appreciate it, as I read about a book a day. The book had a great plot from the beginning, middle and to the end. Nothing was rushed on the last few pages to tie everything up. Spelling and grammar were spot on, plus everything was cohesive, and by that, I mean as an example, if someone is 32 in the beginning they are the same age in the middle and end and not suddenly 29. As far as the story went, it was very interesting, and the characters were well written, and you could identify with them.
I think this was my favorite book in the series. I’m usually good at finding out who the villain is very early in a book but not this time. I hope we get more in this series.
I am an avid, voracious reader. I can be a book snob and when I tell you I enjoyed each book in this series...bank on it! I found myself laughing out loud, rereading paragraphs just to visualize the scenes and laugh some more. I want more books like give Snake some one. Or Jay or Ronald or Anthea or etc etc etc! Thank you Susan as the young people say...This series is Fi-Yah!
I love this series. All of the books are exciting, funny, romantic. This one is Taggart and London's story. London is a beautiful model. Taggart is the head bodyguard for Rocco and Eva's children. London's mother arranges for her to go out with a rich man hoping London will be able to get him to donate to her surgical wing at the hospital, and as a plus, hopefully the surgeon she wants London to marry will be jealous. Instead a murder happens and Taggart steps in offering a fake relationship alibi. Lots of red herrings but the true murderer is finally discovered. Read the entire series for the most enjoyment.
