Like a dark and dangerous hero, he came to my rescue when I least expected it.
In the midst of a terrifying attack, a mysterious stranger came to my aid. Fierce but gentle, he chased off my attacker, protected, and comforted me.
Before he left, my savior told me to call if I ever needed him.
Did I think about it? Absolutely. Matt was the most intriguing and handsome man I’d ever met.
But that was before my carefully-planned life fell into chaos. Before I began to suspect the fluke attack might be anything but random.
No one else believed me when I told them my story, and I couldn’t really blame them. Even to me, it sounded crazy. But there was just something about Matt that made me believe I could trust him.
Weeks later, I still couldn’t stop thinking about her.
I told myself I was worried about Isla’s safety, and that was true. Though the police dubbed her attack an unfortunate fluke, my gut warned me there might be more to it. That she might still be in danger and I wouldn’t be around the next time to help.
It was more than that, though. I liked Isla. Admired her bravery. And her eyes—a deep, mesmerizing violet—were burned into my memory.
As the days went by, I debated whether to call her. Because, for all my confidence on the battlefield as a former Green Beret, when it came to women, I always hesitated.
Then she called. Said she was in trouble and asked for my help. And once I heard her story, I knew she was right.
As a security expert for Blade and Arrow Security, it’s my job to protect. But with Isla, it’s so much more than just a job. It’s protecting the woman I’m falling for.
Guarded from Treachery has a sweetly protective hero, a strong and courageous heroine, a team of former Green Berets, lots of twists and turns, action and danger, forced proximity, and plenty of sweet and steamy moments. No cliffhangers and a happily-ever-after guaranteed!(Can be read as a standalone!)
