My Lady and Her Guards

Twelve-year-old Angelia Briar stood up for a chubby boy being bullied at school. Until the bullies turned on her, mocking the murder of her parents at the hands of her psychotic brother.
The boy said nothing in her defense.
Feeling humiliated and betrayed, she fled the school and never returned.

Fourteen years later, bodies are turning up. Angelia knows who's responsible.
Her brother is back-and now he's stalking her. The detectives on the case must move in to protect her and her adopted family.
Enter Detective Nicholas Rhett: inked, moody, and built like unrepentant sin, he's too dangerous for Angelia's carefully sheltered world.

But that's not even the worst part.

He's also the boy from her past.
And neither of them recognizes the other.

In the chaos of surviving a killer, solving the mystery, and trying not to fall into Nick's bed, by the time Angelia realizes who he really is... it might already be too late to resist.
