The Guarded Heart by Blair LeBlanc

Title: The Guarded Heart
Author: Blair LeBlanc
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: July 19, 2019
Cover Design: Okay Creations
Photography: Joseph Sinclair


Cassian.
He’s my silent shadow. A cold, unfeeling giant with a voice that’s all grit. A man of few words who undresses me with his bedroom eyes. Whose rare smile makes my heart backflip.
He’s thirty.
I’m nineteen.
He’s my bodyguard. I’m the daughter of a senator. 
He’s my first. I’m one of his many conquests.
He’s distant as the moon, but I’m hopelessly falling for him.
He’ll protect my body, but shatter my heart.
Because Cassian isn’t made for white picket fences. He’s built for pleasuring a woman. Protecting her.
No matter how safe I feel in his arms— It won’t last.
A scandal might ruin my father’s campaign. It wasn’t what I planned, but Cassian seized me— heart, body, and soul.
I can’t let him go.
I’ll see this through the bittersweet end.




Concession stands filled the air with salt and sugar. A food truck beckoned me with roasting meat, the warm breeze carrying a dozen scents. I moved from the walking path and headed toward the line of trucks standing on the green, and then a flash of purple stole my attention. A woman in cutoffs and a blouse patterned with small, blue anchors burst into giggles. She held a hand to her deep red lips, trying to stifle her mirth as the man beside her grinned.
Rain was with Nick.
Warmth leeched from my skin as she turned bright red with the effort of not laughing, giving Nick a playful punch. He absorbed the blow, his face rapt with admiration.
It looked real. 
They weren’t close enough to be confused as a couple, but what worked venom through my veins was her laughter. He made her happy, and it riled my insides. Their faces tipped to each other as Nick removed a blossom from her hair. She smiled. It was polite, not the heavy-lidded stares she gave me, but I hated seeing them together.
I made a beeline for them, bulldozing into their discussion. "Hey."
"Cassian!" Rain brightened when she noticed me. "You’re up and about! That’s—"
"—weird," Nick finished.
"I was going to say, unexpected." Rain toyed with a purple strand as I closed the distance. 
I pulled her into a one-armed hug, smirking at Nick over her shoulder. As I disengaged, a fierce blush burned her cheeks. She wanted me, not Nick. The asshole knew it, and wouldn't leave her alone.
Why?
I ignored Nick, facing Rain. "Want to get lunch?" I wasn’t planning on a date, but I wanted to crush whatever he was trying to start. "It’s an hour until my shift."
"I’d love to!” she said. “Is that allowed?"
Nick forced a grin. "Not really."
"Oh. Maybe we all could go."
"Three’s a crowd." I didn't care how this looked. I needed her away from him. "Don’t bother following us, bro. I’ve got it covered." 
I took Rain's arm, but she resisted. "Nick and I were in the middle of a conversation."
"It’s all good," Nick relented. "I’m sure we’ll hang again."
Fuck off.
Her smile dropped as he melted into a crowd of senior citizens with floppy hats and walking sticks.
"Geez. He looks mad."
"At me," I said. "Not you."
Wind played with her hair, obscuring her widened eyes. I pushed it behind her ear. We were in plain sight, but I couldn’t stop myself. I brushed petals off her shoulder, and her blush darkened. 
"Why is he upset?"
"Because I blocked his cock."
"Cassian." Rain's expression was torn between exasperation and amusement. "Just because you and I fooled around doesn’t mean I belong to you." 
"Then I’m making it a rule," I growled. "You’re mine while I’m fucking you."
"Technically, we haven’t done the deed."
"You’re mine."
"That’s awfully possessive from a guy who doesn’t do relationships."
I palmed her back, the only part of her I could touch while standing in the heart of D.C. "Rain, I am not big on sharing—and that's putting it lightly."
"No kidding. You wouldn't even share a pie. You think I have a crush on Nick?"
"He’s doing everything to win you over."
"I'm a virgin, Cassian. Put yourself in my shoes. You're new and overwhelming." Her husky voice cracked like it always did when she went quiet. "You're all I can handle. And the only man I want."
Rain tipped her head as though she expected a kiss. Her presence draped me like a warm blanket, and I was half-drunk with it. 
People flooded the Mall. Among them, there might've been a photographer, but I didn't give a fuck. Rain leaned into me, palms sliding up my armor to anchor at my shoulders. She plastered a clumsy kiss on my chin before I dipped to meet her, warmth spiraling in my chest as our mouths touched. She sighed, giving into the passion and wrapping her arms around my neck.
I circled her waist and gripped her tiny curves. She dragged her fingers through my hair. I devoured her red pout. My tongue lashed her. She moaned, digging her nails into my skin. I pushed her behind the row of food trucks where generators hummed, drowning her sighs. She backed against the truck, purple strands fanning against gold paint. 
We made out like two teenagers at school, but only one of us was nineteen. Where the hell was my restraint? Dead on the ground, somewhere. 
I kissed a senator’s daughter on the National-fucking-Mall.
Rain's tits pressed into me. She fluttered air as she gasped for breath. She pulled me close and kissed me as though she couldn't stop.
But… someone had to be the adult.
I took her wrists, hoping she didn't feel my goddamn erection. 
"This is insane." My heart hammered. "Insane."
And yet, I couldn’t let her go.
She breathed hard, looking equally startled. "What are we doing?" 
I didn’t know.
Whatever it was, it was headed for a spectacular crash.

(Meant To Be, #2)
Published by: Limitless Publishing
Publication date: July 9th 2019
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

As a teen, I had my life figured out: graduate and make my dream of being a bull riding champion a reality. That is right up until the goth girl transferred to my school. Georgia laid the snark on as thick as her eyeliner, but I saw through the toughened façade and fell for her. Hard.

She was willing to give up her own dream to follow me as I pursued my passion, but I couldn’t let her do that. So, I made the hardest decision of my life…and walked away.

It’s been twelve years since I left home without her and the all-grown-up Georgia is just as feisty and fiery as she was back then. It’s clear she has no intention of making redemption easy for me. Thankfully, I’m a patient man who knows what he wants. I’ve never stopped loving her, and I know she feels the same.

Back then I was a rhinestone cowboy, and she was a dark angel, complete opposites, yet we fell in love anyway. We weren’t meant to be like every other cookie cutter couple, we were meant to be different.

EXCERPT:

“What would you say if I told you that I could fix this? At least a temporary band-aid that will give you time to talk to your insurance agent—and an attorney I might add—without screwing up your timeline.” Her brows lifted in a silent challenge.

The corner of his mouth twitched. “I’d say I always knew you were an Angel, but that might be a miracle just slightly out of your grasp.”

She rolled her eyes with an exaggerated sigh. “Do you want to know or not? This deal might expire if you’re gonna pull the Rhinestone Cowboy routine.”

“You always did like giving me options.” His brows popped twice.

Gigi moved to dig in the small container sitting on his desk before producing a silver coin. “Flip ya for it? Heads I tell you my plan and you don’t give me shit, tails I let you figure this out on your own.”

He tilted his head back and laughed, releasing her before rounding his desk and reaching into the drawer. “Now, Angel, this is my life, my career, and my future.” Our future, he corrected in his head, but wasn’t sure that was something he was confident enough to speak out loud. “We need something a bit more grown-up than flipping a coin.”

She lifted one shoulder. “We’ve always done pretty well with it in the past.”

Wyatt held a pack of cards between his fingertips. “Poker, Angel. Something this serious requires a serious game.”

A mischievous grin curled her lips and every nerve ending on his body took notice. The wicked promises the small gesture offered nearly wiped his mind clear of the looming threat to the future he was so carefully constructing.

“If we are playing poker, let’s make it really interesting, Cowboy.”

He swallowed his suddenly parched throat three times. “What’d you have in mind there, Gigi?”

She leaned across the desk and plucked the deck from his hand. “Strip poker. Winner gets to decide what our next step for your ranch is and where we end up tonight.” Her tongue darted out to run along her bottom lip. “I have a lot of ideas.”

The answer was quick, easy, and required absolutely no thought. “Deal me in.”

Publisher: TruthNotes Press

Grace Neunaber may have everything she’s ever dreamed of, but sometimes it’s too much. With an infinite to-do list and not enough sleep, she can’t even get out of survival mode. Her struggles dim, however, in light of the challenges of her oldest daughter.
Thanks to a supportive family and boyfriend, Faith Williams is managing single motherhood on top of college plans. But when the father of her child re-enters her life, her carefully scheduled world is rocked. She can hardly blame him for wanting to spend time with their son, but making her boyfriend jealous and claiming to be Christian is going a bit far.
Despite Faith’s best intentions to keep everyone happy, disaster after disaster strikes, and school is suddenly the least of her worries. Grace must set aside her own difficulties so she can be there for her daughter. And in order to survive the uncertainties, Faith must loosen her grip on her grudges and cling to the hope that God is the only one in her life who hasn’t changed.




Excerpt

“Hey, you two sounded great up there,” a voice spoke from behind them. “Nice duet.”

Faith froze as she stared at Aaron, seeing in his eyes the same incredulous reaction. She didn’t need to turn around to know who was speaking. That deep, confident voice was one she’d recognize anywhere. With a sense of dread, she turned toward the speaker. She knew all too well those intense blue eyes, the smile displaying perfect teeth, the dark blond hair expertly styled with gel, that attractive face she’d fallen for so many months ago.

Spencer Young.

The three of them stared at each other for a long moment until Spencer spoke again. “So this is Griffin, huh? Mom was right. He’s adorable. Hi, buddy,” he addressed the baby in a sing-song voice. “How ya doing?” He looked at Faith. “He has your eyes. Is he rolling over yet?”

Aaron snorted in derision, and Faith laughed. “Spencer, he’s almost eleven months old! He’s been crawling for a few months. He’s starting to pull himself up on furniture to stand. At this rate he could even be walking before he turns one.” She felt a swell of motherly pride as she spoke of her son.

“Oh. I don’t know much about babies.”

“Obviously,” Aaron mumbled with another snort.

Faith could feel the tension between Aaron and Spencer and quickly turned to Aaron. “Could you take Griffin over to my parents?” she asked, shifting Griffin to her other hip. “I’ll be right there. Promise.” She looked into his eyes, silently pleading with him to comply.

Reluctantly, he nodded, and Faith breathed a sigh of relief. “Time to go with Aaron, sweetie,” she sang, handing Griffin to him. He took the baby with ease.

As Aaron and Griffin walked away, Faith grabbed Spencer’s elbow and pulled him to a more discreet spot at the edge of the parking lot. “Spencer, what are you doing here?” she hissed, well aware that other members were casting curious glances their way as they made small talk around them.

“Going to church,” he said innocently, his eyes wide.

“That doesn’t answer my question. Why here? Why now? You’ve never been to church before. What little game are you playing?”

“Faith, listen. You have every right to be mad at me and to distrust me. But I’m a Christian now. Really,” he insisted at her skeptical look. “Short version of the story is that I started going to church with my roommate last semester. I came back here because I want to talk to you about everything that happened between us. I owe you an apology. And I want to do what I can to support you and Griffin now.”

Faith folded her arms over her chest, looked up into the sky, and bit her lip, trying desperately to control her emotions. “Spencer, don’t! Don’t do this to me right now! You have no idea what’s involved in raising a baby. It’s so much harder than I thought it would be. Since the father of the baby abandoned me—” she glared at him for good measure “—my family has stepped in to fill the void. Without their support, I would have either dropped out of high school or put Griffin up for adoption by now. I get up at five thirty to feed him and get him ready, and I take him either to Aunt Livy’s, your mom, or Aaron’s mom, depending on the day. I cut out all extracurricular activities. I didn’t even get to play volleyball my senior year.”

She paused for a moment to compose herself. Her voice was getting too loud. “I pick Griffin up on the way home from school, do homework, help Mom with the twins while she gets dinner ready, and fall into bed when I finally get Griffin down. I haven’t slept through the night since he came home from the hospital, and I’m constantly exhausted. I couldn’t do this alone, but thankfully I have lots of help. And you aren’t one of those helpers! Besides, I’m with Aaron now. He’s been there for me from the very beginning, before I even appreciated him.”

The tears she’d been fighting were dangerously close to spilling over. Spencer’s sudden reappearance had affected her much more than she’d thought possible. She was shaking and kept her arms tightly crossed to disguise that fact. Telling him how drastically her life had changed in the past year had drained her emotionally as well. Her life was nothing like that of a “normal” high schooler.

“I know it’s hard on you,” Spencer answered, looking down at the ground. “I’m sorry. And I’m glad you and Aaron are together now. He’s a good guy. And he has a mean right hook,” he added with a rueful smile.

Smooth, Spencer, she thought, narrowly avoiding an eye roll. Instead, she threw up her hands in exasperation. “What do you expect me to say or do? I haven’t thought about you for months, and now here you are telling me you want to start supporting us? What does that even mean? Financially? Emotionally?”

He rubbed the back of his neck. “I want to get involved in Griffin’s life somehow. I can help over the summer. Faith, he’s my son too! Can’t I at least get to know him?”

Her eyes were burning as she glared at him. “You didn’t even want him!” she hissed, leaning closer to him so no one else would overhear. “You told me to get an abortion! And now you want to help? I don’t think so!”

“I know, I know. Faith, I was wrong. I was so wrong—about everything. Will you just give me a chance to explain myself to you? To apologize properly? I owe you at least that much. Let me take you out for dinner tomorrow night. Please, Faith. Just dinner. I need to talk to you.” His eyes were pleading, and Faith groaned. He was giving her the look, the one he used to make a girl’s heart melt. She hated that look. But she hated herself even more because his look was working.

“Oh, fine,” she groused. “Just dinner.”

He grinned away like the Cheshire Cat. “Perfect. I’ll pick you up at six.”

“We moved since the last time you were at my house.”

“I know exactly where you live,” he replied with a saucy wink. Spencer’s normal self-confidence had returned. “Wear something nice. I’m not taking you to McDonald’s.”

With that, he kissed her cheek and scooted away before she could protest.
