Guarded

Jenna:

“I’m a survivor – literally: she died, I didn’t.

That night still haunts me, but it’s not the only thing. Somebody is toying with me now, messing with me and I don’t know why – and I don’t know who.”

Aiden:

“Babysitting civilians is below my paygrade – and my patience. Especially when my brother’s civil defence unit gets to hunt down the scum responsible for harming a close family friend. But once setting eyes on the shy, pretty little thing I’ve been requested to familiarise with, I decide she might make a decent distraction after all.”

What’s supposed to be a straightforward assignment – with a few added perks – gets flipped on its axis as two defence contracts merge in a sinister, unforgiving way. Soon Aiden realises he will have to do more than just protect his sweet, new obsession. Now he will have to hold her accountable for her own crimes.

E.S. Down worked in an office environment for eight years before giving up the train commute to start a family—where she now lives a simple, yet beautifully busy—somewhat chaotic life with her husband and two young sons.
