Armored Soul (New Beginnings #4)

He led a solitary life by choice . . .

Remy LaGuarda was a loner… and content to be that way. He’d been out on his own since the age of sixteen. With the help of an aging biker, he’d built his life into what it was today. He was the owner of a small, but successful building contractor business. He had his boat, his Harley, and his art. If it was a lonely life, at least it was safe and secure—unlike his childhood in a home with abusive, alcoholic parents.

When one of the few people in the world he let himself care about goes missing, he reaches out for help. He’d heard about a police officer that had helped his sister through a domestic violence incident the year before, so he went looking for that officer for help. What he found was a complete surprise—and it shook up his life in ways he couldn’t have expected.

She was his polar opposite . . .

Stevie Jenssen had a wide circle of friends and family who she relied on… and who relied on her. That was the way she liked it. She had recently settled into a new job, after the tragic end to a case she had worked as a police officer with the San Diego Police Department’s Domestic Violence Unit. Her love for criminal justice had not been enough to keep her on the job after that explosive afternoon. But, she had landed on her feet as usual.

She was drawn to the man who had come to her for help in finding his missing sister. Even after that issue is resolved, she can’t keep from drawing him more firmly into her life. Could she make him understand there was more strength in leaning on and loving someone than in going it alone?

Just as the armor around his heart and soul begins to loosen, his past comes back to haunt him . . . Can someone from his past truly change and in turn, change the way he sees his future?
