Treasured Guardian

Mary Steel has spent a year building a safe life for her eighteen-month-old son, Bruce. Escaping a nightmare was only the first step; running a women’s shelter is her second. But at a glittering charity gala, she encounters a man who challenges every wall she’s built. Dwayne Jensen is six-foot-five of pure, protective muscle, a former Navy SEAL who just inherited a billion-dollar empire.

Dwayne is on a mission to reclaim his family’s company from the shadows of illegal arms dealing. He didn’t expect to find a "North Star" in a woman with a haunted gaze and a smile he’s willing to work for. When Mary’s past resurfaces in a shower of glass and fire, the mission becomes personal.

From the high-rises of Pittsburgh to a bulletproof fortress on the Virginia coast, Mary must learn that depending on a good man isn't a weakness, it's her greatest strength. With Arthur gunning for everything she loves, Dwayne will prove that a real hero doesn't just save the day; he treasures the survivors.
