Guarded from Your Love (Love Language #2)

Patricia Tyler has always lived life by her own rules. Traditional was not a word that she would ever think to use to describe herself. The unconventional route has always been more her speed, especially when it comes to her love life. Instead of the usual marriage and baby carriages dreams that most women her age were chasing, Patricia was only after a good time and plenty of orgasms. Relationships just weren't her cup of tea.

Until... One day they were.

One drunken night led her into the arms of the one person she least expected. Filled with unbridled passion, that night was one that she couldn't forget no matter how hard she struggled to rid herself of the memory. As much as she tried denying her feelings, Patricia was almost certain that the emotions she was feeling went beyond sex and that was what scared her the most.

She couldn't explain where the unexpected feelings or change of heart had come from, but the encounter left her searching, yearning for more. But more wasn't something that she could afford. More had never been a necessity. More always came with disappointment and heartbreak. More was something she vowed to never give another person again.

No matter how much of a fight she put up, Patricia quickly learned that the wall she'd spent so much time building around her heart was no match for its new opponent.
