The Guarded Heart

RAIN

He's my bodyguard. I'm the senator's daughter.

We can't be together, but I'll risk it all to be with him.

Cassian is my silent shadow. A cold, unfeeling giant. A man of few words who undresses me with his bedroom eyes. He's beautifully flawed with a past as mysterious as his scars. It wasn’t what I planned, but Cassian seized me— heart, body, and soul.

He's my first. He's my everything.

I fell for him.

Then I found out his secret.

He's not my protector.

He's my worst mistake.

CASSIAN

I'm in love with my enemy's daughter.

She was young. She was beautiful. The purple-haired girl looked wild. I'd tame her with a firm hand before taking her to bed. I expected a high-maintenance brat, but what I got was Rain.

A kind, selfless woman. A girl whose joy cracked through my armor.

I couldn't hurt her.

When I met her, my plan shattered.

She was mine.

She brought light to my endless night.

And I was destined to destroy everything that made her shine.

Author's Note: A moody, overprotective bodyguard bends his rules for the girl he's supposed to hate. The Guarded Heart is a full-length, steamy, enemies-to-lovers romance with a heartwarming HEA from debut author, Blair LeBlanc.
