Publisher Description
Guard against any danger. Especially if it comes from within.
Detective Matteo Garza doesn’t just do the job—he is the job.
He’s learned the hard way that work and pleasure can’t co-exist.
So when his little sister’s best friend accidentally uncovers a money laundering scheme
led by one of Remington’s most cold-blooded criminals,
Garza vows to keep things strictly business as he keeps her safe.
No matter how much the quirky mathematician
makes him feel things best left buried.
No matter how much she makes him want.
Delia Sutton knows she’s not like most people,
just like she knows she needs to forget her ages-old crush on Matteo
and focus on survival.
But the closer they get, the bolder she becomes—
the more she breaks down his carefully crafted barriers to discover the man beneath.
Danger is closer than either of them could possibly imagine
and no one can be trusted.
Delia needs a guardian to fight by her side, and Matteo will do anything to protect her.
No matter who the enemy is.
The Guardian is a scorching forbidden lovers romantic suspense featuring a grumpy Alpha hero who would walk into fire to save the woman he loves and a smart-is-sexy number-nerd heroine who would save him right back. Equal parts heart-pounding suspense and steamy romance. Complete standalone with no cheating and a full (but hard-fought!) HEA.

The Guardian
"You taste like cake," Delia murmured, the thought flying out of her, unchecked.
Matteo laughed against her lips. "You taste like sin."
The Guardian is a face-paced and gripping read that keeps you guessing right until the very end.
Matteo is the grumpy detective who is married to his job. Delia is his sister's best friend who lives for numbers and speaking her mind without thinking about it first. Delia has had a crush on Matteo since the day she met him. When she uncovers a money-laundering scheme at work and her life in danger, Matteo is the one put on the case and swears to protect her. At first, it's because he wants to take down Nicky Bianchi and she is his sister's best friend. But the more time they spend together, the more he realizes that he will do anything to guard and protect her.
Once I started the book, I found it hard to put down and was so invested in the story. The suspense, connections, twist and turns (some surprising) kept me glued to the book. As an extension in the Remington world, it was great to see some other Remington favourites. Garza and Delia were sizzling and magnetic together once she finally got past his grumpy and broody exterior. I can not wait for Maxwell's book. I highly recommend this book and all of Kimberly Kincaid's books as they have never steered me wrong.
