Guardian Hero

I'm Max. I keep my distance. But not from her. A wounded dove with tons of baggage wrapped into an irresistibly sexy little package. Protecting her becomes my obsession, not saving her, my ultimate failure. Milli: I stopped believing when I was ten years old. Guardian Angels are a myth. Heroes just a fantasy. Even my own mother a monster. My past still haunts me, the wounds running deep and though I fight back, I also hide. In my small home town, in my grandfather's grocery store, behind my books, and my computer… But I can't hide from him. He sees me... all of me. And I can't look away either. Max: Solitude and silence have led me here. And I got a job to do. SOG is my team. My brothers. My mission after leaving the service. But besides that, all I want for my life is peace and quiet. And she's anything but. A wounded dove with tons of baggage wrapped into an irresistibly sexy little package. Protecting her becomes my obsession, not saving her, my ultimate failure. Every single member of our rag-tag family has an opinion about us, but the only opinion that counts is hers. Can she forgive me? Will she open up again? Because I would do anything to make her feel safe, cherished and whole. Like she does for me. I just need an in. A minute alone to tell her I can't live without her. She has all the power. Which both of us never expected…
