Solitaire Series

Eight years ago, Jolene Anderson left her family and friends behind to study fashion design abroad. As she began to soar in both her professional and personal life, without warning, her world came crashing down. Broken, she retreats to the only place she feels safe...home. Ryder Brisson is getting his life in order. His military service has prepared him for civilian life with his own security firm. His future is looking bright, but there's one thing that would make his life complete...the one he's loved all of his life, Jolene.

In my profession, rule number one is never get involved. I did a pretty good job of that until the object of my secret desire came knocking at my door, literally. Now, the only person I could ever see myself giving my heart to is the one who gave hers away. Will we ever be able to be together or will the ghosts of our pasts keep us apart? I know she thinks she's broken, but I'll always be there...protecting her heart.
