Protector

From the author of Healer and Connection, a 2023 Daphne Du Maurier Award Finalist, comes a tale of supernatural suspense where two souls with opposing world views must work together to save victims of human trafficking from the clutches of those wielding darkness for their personal gain.

Retired Navy SEAL James Morton is an expert in security and protection. When his cousin asks him to provide his services to the staff at Havenhart Academy-a boarding school for child victims of trauma-he doesn't count on working alongside folks who don't operate in his reality, like librarian Morgan Forrester. She's gorgeous, funny...and a witch? James deals solely in facts, science, and rules of engagement. There is no room for woo-woo in his life, but she knows things about his missing daughters. When he receives a mysterious phone call about his eldest, he'll have to look past his beliefs and accept that even a natural-born Protector needs to ask for and accept help, and that sometimes opening yourself to new possibilities can bring about great rewards...and love.
