Will they be able to find a balance between Gunnar’s independence and Kennedy’s desperate need to guard him from the world?<br><br><i>Gunnar’s Guardian is book one in the thrilling Protect and Serve series, and features sexy first responders, the love of chosen family, and finding your place in the world when all seems lost.</i>
