Guarding Truth Releases

If you loved Defending Honor, get ready to meet Elite Bodyguard Juliette Montgomery. She’s smart and sassy, not to mention tough as nails.

The truth might destroy them both…

Former Army Ranger turned elite bodyguard Juliette Montgomery never forgot fellow solider Caleb Styles-or her feelings for him. But when the guy saved her life, it cost them their relationship.

Now, years later, Caleb hasn’t forgotten her either. But he has no idea she also lives in Savannah, Georgia, where he’s the guardian of his niece, Ivy, after her parents were killed.

Then he discovers that his brilliant niece’s computer skills have attracted a notorious hacker group. More, when Ivy tracks the hackers, she endangers Caleb’s cyber-security company. Enter his need for the Elite Guardians.

The very last person Juliette thought she’d see again-let alone be assigned to protect-is Caleb. But no matter the attraction between them, she can’t afford to let her heart take over. Her focus has to be on protecting Caleb and Ivy. After all, they need all their wits about them to find the hackers and unravel their plans.

When they discover the hackers’ true intent, it becomes a race against time. But it too late to protect their hearts from the truth?
