copy link copy title and author

A guarded security expert. A polished news anchor in danger. And a spark that’s anything but professional…

Terrence Miles doesn’t do messy.
After losing the love of his life, he built a world of rules, routines, and silence—centered around protecting his daughter and keeping his peace.

Until Alyssa Monroe walks in.

She’s Oakwood Falls’ most trusted news anchor—and now the target of a stalker who’s getting bolder by the day. Terrence is assigned to upgrade the station’s security… but what he sees behind Alyssa’s camera-perfect smile sets off every protective instinct he thought he buried.

She's guarded. He’s worse.

But late nights turn into stolen glances. One drink turns into a kiss. And when she lands in his guest room “just for safety,” their lines blur faster than either of them can stop.

She doesn’t want to put his daughter at risk.
He doesn’t want to love and lose again.
But when danger gets too close, Alyssa must decide: stay and fight—or run like she always has.

He’s built to protect. She’s tired of pretending.
And neither of them is ready for what it means to fall under each other’s watch.

🔥 A quick-read romance novella packed with heat, heart, and single dad steam. Perfect for fans of protective heroes, forced proximity, and emotionally scarred couples who heal each other.
