by Beverly Barton

Two stories of women in need and the men who stand for them. Come back to the very first "Protectors"!

This Side of Heaven
The Protector: Nate Hodges
Coping with her husband's murder, Cyn Porter comes to idyllic Sweet Haven seeking peace. Instead, she finds herself thrust into the path of a stalker. Nate, a former navy SEAL, is determined to defend her — but doing so left his heart exposed!

The Outcast
The Protector: Reece Landry
Wounded and on the run, ex-con Reece Landry rescues Elizabeth Mallory from a deadly winter storm. A psychic, Elizabeth knows Reece is innocent and vows to prove it, because her sixth sense tells her that he's the answer to her lonely prayers. Will Elizabeth be the one to heal Reece, body and soul?
