The Series: The Protected Series
Blurb: Millie’s past forms a mosaic painted with incredible love, shadowed by unfathomable pain. In her dreams, she envisions the extraordinary—a stolen afternoon of pure indulgence, reliving the sensations ignited by a man who breathed life into her six years ago.
Leaving behind a life she can no longer bear, she steps into the unknown, a path unplanned and unexpected.
The universe seems to have its own script, defying her intentions. It’s as if destiny has a different design in store, one she cannot outrun.
This contemporary romance weaves a tapestry of passion, discord, unwavering support, desires for retribution, and twists that defy anticipation.

Charlie
I thought I had it all. The husband. The house. The job.
But then, some photos proved it was all a lie.
So, I made a change.
Packed up, moved, bought a flower shop, ready to give myself a fresh start.
When I imagined my new life, I never planned for him.
Owen.
But I also never planned for my previous life to catch up with me either.
The question is, can Owen get to me before everything goes up in flames?
Owen
It started like any other job. Protect the girl.
But then I notice the girl’s friend and I can’t look away.
Charlie.
Strong, confident, sexy. She’s perfect and I’m obsessed.
Despite her telling me she wants nothing more than ‘friends with benefits’, I know this one is for keeps.
My angel.
The problem is, life fires a shot and it sends me into a PTSD spiral.
I can see only one way out: to run.
But if I go, will she ever forgive me, and while I’m gone, will she survive the danger that’s determined to hunt her down?

Arianna
My life is controlled.
What I eat, what I wear, who I talk to. None of it is my choice.
I hate my life, but if I don’t conform, I know what they’ll do. I don’t care if they hurt me again. Not really. But when they threaten the people I love, they know I’ll toe the line and fix my perfect mask back in place.
No one sees the real me. I can’t let them in because they might get hurt too.
Then he shows up. Cole.
I hate him.
He hates me.
But when we’re alone and I let my mask slip, can I really trust that he will be there to keep me safe or am I destined to spend my future trapped in a life I hate?
He told me to let them see who I really am.
But am I really enough for Cole?
Cole
She’s a princess.
I love my job, but right now, the security detail I’m working is pushing all my buttons.
Raised by a mum who left us in the pursuit of a better, more affluent life, it’s no wonder that the spoiled daddy’s girl drives me crazy.
Miss Byron.
She might be sexy as hell, but I loathe being around her.
Only, the more I watch, the more I realise, I might have got her all wrong.
And with a little support and encouragement, I get to see a side of her no one else ever does.
The problem is, the more I get to know Ari, the harder I fall.
And then she’s promised to another and there’s a chance I might lose her for good.
Except, her father doesn’t know who he’s messing with and Ari fails to realise one thing—she’s mine and I will use every tool in my arsenal to protect what’s mine.

Em.
Love or lust?
It’s devastating to think of the consequences, when I need to choose between the two. He’s my brothers best, and right-hand man. A perfect, fit to our little family of just me, and my brother.
The man I’ve fantasied over since I was old enough to realise what a god Dan is.
What happens if I make the wrong choice, and I ruin everything.
I know the answer, but am I willing to say it out loud, and risk it all? My family, our friendship?
Dan.
Fuck me.
She consumes my mind. Everything about her edges me. I’ve held back for so long it’s become second nature to see her and not touch her the way I desperately want to.
But when I walk into that room, and see that pricks hands on her. I know I can’t hold back anymore.
I just need to convince Em to take a chance on me.
