The Protector Next Door

<p><strong>I traded my teaching career for a new beginning in the sea-swept town of Coral Bay after the tragic loss of my parents and my job in the same year. I need somewhere to rebuild my life. A nanny seems like the perfect temporary solution-until I discover my employer is Ryan Mitchell my distractingly handsome next-door neighbor.</strong></p><p><br>Between his career as an ex-Navy SEAL turned firefighter and raising two kids alone Ryan has no room for romance after his ex-wife's betrayal. Caring for his children I glimpse the tender heart he guards behind protective walls.</p><p><br>I find my place in their lives a crisis forces me to save his little girl's life to prove I'm stronger than anyone believed. I must decide if I'm brave enough to fight for the family I never knew I wanted-and if Ryan's sailor's heart can weather love and loss for a chance at unshakable bonds together.</p><p><br> </p><p><br> </p>
