The Vanguard Protection
Guarded
Sofia Reyes spent seven years letting Caleb control everything — her music, her image, her life. Her Uncaged Tour is supposed to be the first thing that's entirely hers. No ex-manager breathing down her neck, no man with a clipboard deciding what version of her is allowed in the room. Just Sofia, her tour, and her own rules for once.
Then someone leaves a Polaroid on her dressing room vanity. A photo of a barefoot girl on a Montana truck tailgate, laughing like she doesn't know what cameras are. On the back, in sharp angry ink: Casey was real. Sofia is what they sold.
Roman Hale doesn't do celebrity security. He runs Vanguard Protection for real threats, not pop stars with paparazzi problems. Then he sees the envelope — no stamp, no return address, hand-delivered past arena security like it was nothing — and he stops seeing a pop star. He sees a perimeter that's already been breached and a threat that's only getting closer.
Exposed
True-crime podcaster Wren Calloway reopens the case that's haunted her since she was twelve — not knowing the silver-haired bodyguard hired to protect her is the one man who needs it to stay buried. A romantic suspense with grumpy-meets-chaos banter, forced proximity, and a slow burn that turns dangerously personal.
THE VANGUARD SERIES
Vanguard Protection takes the jobs no one else will touch and sends in the men no one should fall for. Five elite operatives. Five women who never asked to be guarded. Five threats that turn professional distance into something far more dangerous.
From a pop star's viral fake romance to a podcaster's buried cold case, every Vanguard novel is a standalone romantic suspense with a grumpy protective hero, a heroine with her own agenda, slow-burn heat, and a threat that gets very real, very fast. Read in any order. Fall for the whole crew.
