Betrothed

Zeke Williams has been a guardian for as long as he can remember. Between his sisters and his job running a safe house, Zeke does whatever it takes to protect the women in his care. And because so many women need him, it’s unfair… and impossible… to find the one he could promise forever to.

Lucky for him, Kenzie Barrett didn’t give him a choice.

Kenzie needed help. Specifically, she needed a husband, a home, and a stable life for reasons she’ll do anything to protect. And when Zeke overhears about her desperate situation, his guardian mode kicks in and he does the only thing he can: he proposes.

For Kenzie, becoming betrothed to a man she hardly knows is the least of her concerns. Sure, Zeke might be strong, stubborn, and impossibly sexy, but most importantly, he’s her simple solution to a sticky situation. That is, until she realizes how easy it is to fall for the stoic savior who takes their sham far too seriously.

Zeke hoped their convenient marriage would fix her problem; instead it created another. And this one is far more dangerous now that his guarded heart is on the line.
