title: Her Unwanted Protector
author: Stockham, Kay
description: Nathan Quinn is battle-scarred and tough-as-nails. Maybe that’s why he sees through Jolie Carter’s evasiveness. He recognizes the look in her eyes, the pain of whatever haunts her. It’s eating her up inside and he won’t stop digging until he can share the weight of it.Jolie’s buried her past—until it walks into her coffee shop and sends her into a spiral she’s unable to hide from Quinn. But as danger lurks and memories continue to appear, she finds herself reluctantly accepting solace from her unwanted protector. After all, sometimes the only hope of facing the present is by accepting help from those with pasts more haunted than their own.
