Guarding Her Heart
He was hired to protect her body. He never expected to fall for her heart.
sunday Blake doesn't need a bodyguard. At least, that's what she tells herself. As a rising-star attorney with a sharp tongue and a tightly guarded past, she's used to fighting her own battles. But when a high-profile case makes her a target, she's forced to accept help from the last kind of man she wants around-quiet, intense, and far too observant.
Elias Rylan doesn't do distractions-and Sunday Blake is nothing but. As a former marine turned private security expert, he's trained to keep people safe, not fall for the stubborn, guarded woman who insists she can take care of herself. But when the threats against Sunday turn deadly, elias moves in-closer than either of them planned.
What starts as a job becomes something neither of them can ignore. The more time they spend together, the more elias sees past sunday s armor-and the more sunday fears what will happen if she lets him in. She's not just fighting for her life... she's fighting the one thing she swore she'd never risk again.

Tagline: It was supposed to be one night. Now he's the one thing she can't control. Description: Harper Knight is the kind of woman who keeps her life in order-every plan mapped, every goal color-coded, every emotion locked tight. After years away, she's finally back home in California: new city, new law firm, same old promise to herself-no distractions. Then her girls convince her to go out. One night. One drink. One chance to remember what it feels like to live. That's when she meets him. Tall, confident, dangerous in a way that makes her forget every boundary she ever built. One night turns into hours she can't stop replaying-the kind that leaves her breathless, shaken, and wondering how something that wrong could feel that right.

Until she walks into Carter & Vale Law Group... and he's standing there in a tailored suit, looking at her like a memory he never meant to lose. Elias Carter. Senior partner. Her boss. The man who already knows exactly how she sounds when she falls apart. Now every meeting feels like a secret, every argument a spark waiting to burn. She swore she'd never mix business with pleasure. But some temptations don't care about rules-and the hardest cases are the ones that hit close to the heart. Because in this firm, desire isn't just dangerous. It's a power play.

All of her
Emilia Hartley has always been too much. Too opinionated. Too ambitious. Too loud. Too emotional. Too everything-according to every man who's ever tried to love her. So now she doesn't let anyone try. She's built a life of control: sharp suits, sharper words, and a career that leaves no room for mistakes. Or feelings. James Dunne is everything she shouldn't want. Calm. Controlled. Maddeningly unreadable. A financial advisor with a voice like velvet and a habit of watching her too closely in meetings. He's not the kind of man who gets involved. Not with women like her. Not with anyone. When a high-profile client forces them to collaborate, tension sparks fast-and it doesn't burn out. Not after late nights in glass offices. Not after near-kisses in rain-drenched cabs. Not after one devastating night where she lets him in, only to run the next morning. But James doesn't flinch. He never told her to be quieter. Or smaller. And for the first time in her life, Emilia is terrified... of someone staying. All of Her is a slow-burn, emotionally charged love story about ambition, vulnerability, and the rare kind of intimacy that doesn't ask you to change-just to be seen.
