Synopsis

Cecelia

I’m Cecelia Drake.
Waitress at the restaurant within NEXTUS's stronghold.
In Grove Rock, my lifelong battleground, danger whispers as commonly as chatter.
Staying hidden? Not just a mantra. It's survival.
My heart? Fort Knox.
My trust? Double-locked.

Then he strides in—Jonathan Carlson, ex-SEAL, now wearing a NEXTUS badge.
Trust is a joke here, and he’s no punchline.

Innocent? That's me.
Feeling like I don’t measure up? Every time our eyes meet.
His smirk? Should come with a warning label.
Muscles and a soft gaze that hint at unexplored territories.
Older, battle-scarred, he's a chapter from a story I thought I'd never read.

He’s a wildfire; I’m the cautious step closer.


Jonathan

Name’s Jonathan Carlson.
Heart went MIA in the desert, leaving scars no medal can cover.
Walls high.
Emotions buried deep.

Cecelia Drake changes the rules—she’s innocence with a backbone, a mystery wrapped in a smile.
Her brother might as well be mine, but Cece?
She’s the mission I never saw coming.
Grove Rock was just another job until her.

And she thinks I'm just passing through. Wrong.
Her laugh? A sound that pieces me back together, shard by shard.
Her fight? My mission.

She sees the hero in me I can't find in the mirror.
She’s convinced she’s a mere whisper in my storm.
Couldn’t be more wrong.

Cece, test me, push me, doubt me if you dare.
In the face of our enemies, I stand as your shield—unbreakable, unstoppable.


No Cheating. No Cliffhangers.
Dive into "Damaged Protector" for an exhilarating journey through the NEXTUS Security Series.
Experience suspense, thrill, and the heat of romance in a story that will captivate you from start to finish.
