Check out my other book: Hellish Desires and The Serpent's Woman.


In a world of ancient grudges and hidden magic, Angela Meadowbrook, a fiery and skilled archer, finds herself at the center of a deadly game of revenge. Her father, the ruthless and cunning Meadowbrook, has made many enemies - including Zayden, a wealthy and mysterious young man who has been secretly plotting his vengeance for years.

Zayden, driven by a burning desire for retribution, infiltrates the Meadowbrook household by becoming Angela's bodyguard. As they spend more time together, Angela finds herself falling deeply in love with the enigmatic Zayden, unaware of his true intentions.

But Zayden's feelings for Angela grow stronger with each passing day, threatening to upend his carefully laid plans. Torn between his loyalty to his family's memory and his love for the daughter of his sworn enemy, Zayden must confront the darkness within himself.

As the truth about Zayden's past and his connection to Meadowbrook begins to unravel, Angela is faced with an impossible choice: forgive the man she loves for his deception or turn her back on him forever.

Will Zayden and Angela find a way to overcome their differences and be together, or will the weight of their families' secrets tear them apart forever?

The Lady And Her Bodyguard

<p>Zayden's advice was logical. Reasonable, even. But Angela had her reasons as well. She hated burdening people with her personal problems, be they family-related or not. She loved sorting herself out all on her own, listening to her own heart and mind, not another person's.</p>

<p>Angela tilted her head at what she was doing. She had started from the bottom in knitting the sweater and had gone halfway, reaching the arm's length; that was where the problem brewed. The left arm she had knitted came out smaller than the right, and she groaned. If there was something she wasn't perfect at, it was crocheting. Not that she was bad at it, though—she could make a beautiful handbag.</p>
