Sheltered Heart: Sophie's Story (The New American Royals #1)
Eva Charles

Max sure as hell isn’t looking for a relationship, and if he was, it wouldn’t be with her. She’s bossy and demanding, wants things that are too hard to give. At least they’re too hard for him to give. But he can’t seem to stay away from the sultry brunette, with her plump, heart-shaped lips. Before long, he’s forced to confront the past, or lose her forever.
This is the story of a woman afraid to trust, and a man who leads his life in a way that challenges those very trust issues. It’s the story of a man in unbearable pain, and the woman who helps him heal. It’s forgiveness, and second chances, and not letting the monsters win.
This book contains graphic sex scenes, strong language, and deals with highly sensitive subject matter.
Sheltered Heart is the first book in The New American Royals series and can be enjoyed as stand-alone—no cliff-hangers.
