Ophelia "Lia" Ward has always lived in the shadows-home-schooled and isolated, she spends her days working at the local library and her nights avoiding the abuse of her cruel step-father. Sweet, innocent, and naΓ―ve, she dreams of freedom that feels forever out of reach. But when a single act of bravery-saving a stranger in a dark alley-lands her in the crosshairs of the city's most feared mafia, her world is thrust into chaos.
Angelo Moretti is a name that strikes terror into the hearts of many-a ruthless mafia boss with a reputation so chilling, it keeps even the bravest away. But when he witnesses Lia's courage as she saves his best friend's brother, he is captivated by her pure, innocent spirit in a way that shakes his icy resolve. Driven by a fierce protectiveness, Angelo pulls Lia into his dangerous life, offering her safety, protection, and the chance to escape her abusive past.
With danger lurking from both her step-father and Angelo's enemies, Lia must decide if she can risk her heart and trust Angelo. Can love grow in a world built on violence and power, or will the secrets and dangers of Angelo's life push them apart?
Guarding Lia is a story of two opposites finding refuge in each other-a sweet, innocent girl and the ruthless mafia boss determined to protect her at all costs.
