Guarded Hearts

Jules Lawson, a newly famous author, thought navigating her skyrocketing success would be her biggest challenge-until the obsessive messages started. When a mysterious stalker escalates from online threats to real danger, Jules knows she needs protection. Enter Bennett Nelson, a brooding, no-nonsense ex-military bodyguard with a singular mission: keep her safe, at all costs.

As Jules and Bennett navigate a world of high-stakes danger, an unexpected connection begins to grow between them. What starts as a professional arrangement soon becomes complicated by the undeniable chemistry they can't ignore. Bennett's fierce protectiveness takes on a deeper meaning, but his troubled past makes it hard for him to let Jules in.

With the stalker closing in, Jules and Bennett must trust each other in ways neither of them expected. As their hearts become entangled, so do the risks-because the most dangerous threat may not be the one lurking in the shadows, but the one building between them.

In Guarded Hearts: Book 1, suspense and romance collide in a story of vulnerability, trust, and learning to love even when everything feels uncertain.
