Guarding Autumn (Crimson Point Security #3)
Kaylea Cross
Long ago, single mom Autumn buried her feelings for the man she’s loved in secret for most of her life, knowing he’ll only ever see her as a friend. Then unexpected news blows up her entire world, leaving her in an impossible situation. If she tells him the truth it could ruin everything between them. But she won’t be able to live with herself if she doesn’t.
And it could destroy everything.
Autumn has always been a central pillar of Gavin’s life, but their friendship isn’t enough for him anymore. He’s in love with her, and wants to make a life with her. An upcoming security job finally gives him the chance he’s been waiting for, but then everything goes wrong. From the moment she arrives she’s distant, putting up walls he’s desperate to tear down. When a planned protest spins out of control and her daughter goes missing in the fray, he finally learns her secret. As they fight against the mounting danger, a hard truth hangs between them, threatening to rip them apart forever.
