Do Not Touch by Eric Laurrent
When French mafioso Oscar Lux saved Clovis Baccara from killing himself, he became the boss and something of a mentor to Clovis. Twenty years later, it is no surprise that Clovis is named best man when Oscar decides to settle down and get out of the business. Fulfilling his role as second-hand man, Clovis is entrusted with the job of guarding Oscar s new bride when Oscar is taken into police custody for embezzlement and racketeering on the day after his wedding. Alone on his boss s honeymoon in Los Angeles with Oscar s incredibly attractive new wife, Clovis tries his hardest to adhere to the one rule he has given himself, the rule which gets harder to heed as each moment passes: do not touch.-
