Blurb
A terrible betrayal cost me everything.

My home. My job. My reputation. My so-called friends.

Scared, hurting, the life I’d worked so hard for in shambles, there seemed no better option than to leave.

After years of city life, the idea of escaping to the small town of Williston seemed appealing. So I picked up and moved there to take a job at the local diner. It might not have been what I’d trained for, but I came to enjoy it.

Something else I enjoyed? Talking to Webb—my favorite customer, the most handsome man I’d ever met, and a man I might have considered dating if things were different.

Ever since I met Noelle at the diner, it’s become my favorite place to visit.

And if she gave any sign of being interested, I’d ask her out in a second.

As we grow closer, I can tell she’s keeping a secret. I’m worried, but I don’t know her well enough to push. Not until I find her hurt and and humiliated and crying in the diner bathroom, that is. Not until I find out the truth of why she left her old life behind.

Noelle needs someone who believes in her. Someone who’ll do anything to protect her. And with the help of my Blade and Arrow teammates, I intend to do just that.

Protected from Evil is a steamy he-falls-first story featuring a former Night Stalker, a scared but strong heroine, a team of Army veterans, found family, forced proximity, thrilling twists, and a guaranteed HEA. Can be read as a standalone.

MY REVIEW

Noelle had to move to this small town to get away from her creepy, stalker former boss. No longer a theater stage manager, she's now a waitress at a diner, just trying to start over and hope her ex boss doesn't find her. There's a customer at the diner whom she can't help but notice, as he's here every day. Then he rescues her and introduces her to his team of protective security and former military men and women, all as protective as he. If anyone can find the threat and protect her, it's Webb and his team and found family.

Webb used to be a Night Stalker, now he's with the Blade & Arrow Team, so his protective tendencies are ingrained in him. That's why when the woman he fell for practically at first sight, is being threatened, he's the first to jump to protect her. He's never been one for relationships before, but he can't deny how he feels about Noelle. He'll keep her safe and figure out how to eliminate the threat, all of them, so his woman can live her life free of fear, to experience the happiness she deserves.

Noelle was right when she told Webb he was romantic. The sweet stuffed animals, and all the ways he cared for her, all the little things and the quiet, steady rock he was - so swoony in a very realistic sense. And Noelle, my God she was just trying to keep herself protected, live her life out of the reach of her disgusting ex boss, I felt so for her. Thank God she picked this small town to move to, because it's where she met Webb and the Blade and Arrow crew. Suspense, a sweet, spicy quickly evolving relationship - what an excellent addition to this excellent series.
