"Protected by You"
Tim Bradford has spent his life enforcing order, carrying responsibility, and putting everyone else first. At nearly forty, he believes love is something that happens to other people-until a quiet, book-loving woman with soft eyes and a sharp mind walks into his life.
Ada Winter is twenty-six, grounded, gentle, and passionate about stories-especially the ones hidden between library shelves. She never expected a hardened Mid-Wilshire officer to look at her like she was something precious. Or to treat her like a queen from the very first moment.
Their relationship unfolds slowly, built on safety, trust, and devotion. Tim is protective to a fault, spoiling Ada with affection, gifts, dinners, and unwavering loyalty. Ada, in return, gives him peace, warmth, and a home he never realized he was missing.
This is a story about love where protection is tenderness, strength is gentleness, and being cherished is the greatest gift of all.
