Former Marine Jake Brennan wasn't expecting much when he answered a cryptic job listing for a personal security detail. But when billionaire industrialist Victor Langston hires him to protect his reckless, rebellious daughter, Jake realizes he's signed up for a job unlike any he's ever faced.
Tessa Langston is twenty-two, fearless, and a magnet for chaos. With her wild purple hair, defiant attitude, and a tendency to dive headfirst into danger, she's the complete opposite of the disciplined life Jake knows. Tasked with keeping her out of jail, off the front page, and, most importantly, alive, Jake quickly discovers that Tessa doesn't want protecting-she wants freedom.
From late-night motorcycle chases to run-ins with street racers and abandoned amusement park escapades, Jake's new job is a whirlwind of adrenaline and frustration. But as the two clash in their opposing ways of life, Jake begins to uncover the vulnerable woman beneath Tessa's defiance, while Tessa starts to see her overprotective shadow as more than just a killjoy.
Thrown into a world of danger, secrets, and unexpected camaraderie, Jake and Tessa must learn to trust each other if they're going to survive the chaos that seems to follow her every move. Guarding Chaos is a thrilling, heart-pounding tale of adventure, loyalty, and the unlikely bonds forged under fire.
