Guarded hearts are the hardest to open, and his is more guarded than most. But that won't stop her from trying…

Adelaide Ashbourne used to have it all – before she ended up divorced, jobless, and facing a deadly threat from one of her ex's enemies. All she wanted from San Juan Island was peace. Instead, she got a handsome new bodyguard with demons of his own.

Rick Hayle knows he can protect Addy, but figuring out how to guard his heart against his beautiful new charge is another matter entirely. If he's not careful, he'll end up doing something that could destroy them both – like falling in love.

With secrets, past wounds, and a shocking family betrayal working against them, can Addy and Rick find the courage to fight for their potential happily ever after? Or are they doomed to remain star-crossed forever?
