Tender Guardian
by Cathie Linz

A classic romance. First time in eBook.

The Preschool Teacher and the Security Expert

Brittany Evans wasn’t the kind of woman who normally handcuffed a man to keep him by her side.

Michael Devlin wasn’t the kind of man who normally let a woman get the best of him.

But then he’d never met a woman like Brittany and she’d never met a man like him.

Could they make this thing between them work or were the odds against them too powerful to overcome?

Originally published September 1985 in Candlelight Ecstasy #364.
