NEEDS EDITING THIS IS A FIRST DRAFT You thought you knew Jax Miller. Elias's loyal best friend. The easy-smiling golden retriever of The Inkwell. But behind that grin, the ex-Navy SEAL is hiding a war-torn soul and the trauma of a battle he cannot outrun. Jax returns to Oakhaven searching for peace, only to collide with Matilda "Tilly", the shy childhood best friend who pushed him away fifteen years ago. Tilly is back in town, working at The Heath Bakery and trying to rebuild her life after fleeing a cheating ex-fiancé who has now become a relentless stalker. Jax's protective instincts, fuelled by pain he refuses to face, snap into focus the second he sees her again. To keep Tilly safe, he suggests a fake relationship. A visible shield against the man terrorising her. But as the line between their protective lie and the feelings they buried years ago begins to blur, Jax is forced to confront the truth he has spent years hiding. And Tilly must decide whether she can trust the only man who once let her go. Find out what happens when the heart of a protector is finally put to the test. Fake Dating. Second Chance. Protective Ex-SEAL. The Protector is a friends-to-lovers romance featuring a protective ex-SEAL and a shy bakery worker caught in a fake relationship while a dangerous stalker threatens the life they are trying to build together. *** They are set in the same universe with the same characters; however, their stories are a bit different. In the first book, you don't know Tilly, but in this book, she comes in when Charlotte is nearly a year old. When I was writing Wildflower, I had no intention of making a second book, but after a while, inspiration struck, and I didn't want to touch Wildflower, but Jax and Tilly's story worked well in this time frame and i realised i have free will and can actually do whatever I want, so they techinaly work well as 2 standalones just set in the same town.

The worst thing about falling for your enemy isn't the rivalry. It's realizing he may have never been your enemy at all. Everyone in Dawston University knows two things. Evangeline Winslow Abberweitch is untouchable. Dawston's golden girl in a lab coat, a future scientist with a sharp tongue, and the kind of girl everyone wants to befriend-except for the one ice-cold hockey captain who seems determined to stay in her orbit. Keeve Malachi Kavanagh doesn't touch anyone. Ruthless, blue-eyed captain of Dawston's hockey team, as cold as the ice he rules, and Angie's sworn enemy. They've hated each other for years. He calls her Princess just to watch her snap. She calls him an arse because it's easier than wondering why he never leaves her alone. But one desperate phone call changes everything. When no one else answers, he's the one who picks up. Suddenly, the line between love and hate begins to blur. The sparks between ice and fire threaten to burn down more than either of them is prepared for. Maybe the greatest rivalry at Dawston was never a rivalry at all.
