Guarding Mollie

Professional boundaries are meant to be respected. Unless your boss is a matchmaking, bingo-playing grandmother who refuses to take no for an answer.
Mollie's life in Savannah, Georgia, was finally supposed to be quiet. After a spectacularly brutal heartbreak two years ago, she is perfectly content spending her days working as a caretaker for Betti Young-a delightfully sharp-tongued, silk-robe-wearing matriarch who wins big at gambling and meddles even bigger.
But Mollie's peaceful, carefully guarded routine is completely upended by the sudden arrival of Betti's grandson, Jason.
He is a towering, impossibly handsome billionaire CEO who navigates corporate boardrooms with ruthless, terrifying precision. He's also entirely out of Mollie's league, strictly off-limits, and frustratingly easy to talk to. When a high-society mayoral gala forces them to team up and play the role of the perfect couple, the heavy, practical walls around Mollie's heart begin to crack.
Surviving the sweltering Georgia heat is one thing. Surviving the sudden appearance of the ghosts from their romantic pasts? That requires a shimmering vintage gown, the world's most fiercely loyal best friends, and a man who absolutely refuses to let her hide in the shadows any longer.
Packed with razor-sharp banter, heartwarming healing, and sizzling tension, this is a story about leaving your heavy baggage at the door, stepping into the light, and letting the right person carry you home.
