The Protector

She's fleeing the shadows of a dangerous past.

He vowed never to risk heartbreak again.

But their pull toward each other is fierce-impossible to resist.

Jenna-or Kate, as her friends know her has spent years running from a dangerous past.

Just when she begins to find security in her newfound life, danger catches up with her

again. Fleeing to the quiet town of Green Ridge, Virginia, Jenna must choose between

hiding and standing her ground. She places her trust in a man who promises to keep her

safe-Michael Rossi. What she doesn't expect are his comforting arms... or the heated

attraction she feels to the man who swears is just her protector.

After leaving the Marine Corps, Michael Rossi leads a quiet, routine life as a private

security specialist. Still healing from a heartbreak that changed him forever, he keeps his

distance from the world, protecting his own heart until he meets his new client, the smart,

soft-hearted, and intriguingly striking with her fiery red hair (or is it orange?), Jenna

Miller, who challenges everything he believes. His latest client is nothing as he

expected-and everything he didn't know he needed.
