Tim Bradford has spent his life enforcing order, carrying responsibility, and putting everyone else first. At nearly forty, he believes love is something that happens to other people-until a quiet, book-loving woman with soft eyes and a sharp mind walks into his life.
Ada Winter is twenty-six, grounded, gentle, and passionate about stories-especially the ones hidden between library shelves. She never expected a hardened Mid-Wilshire officer to look at her like she was something precious. Or to treat her like a queen from the very first moment.
Their relationship unfolds slowly, built on safety, trust, and devotion. Tim is protective to a fault, spoiling Ada with affection, gifts, dinners, and unwavering loyalty. Ada, in return, gives him peace, warmth, and a home he never realized he was missing.
This is a story about love where protection is tenderness, strength is gentleness, and being cherished is the greatest gift of all.
