IT'S RELEASE DAY!!
Fall for the missing Ward sister…
Juliette Collins is privileged and isolated from the world by her over-protective father. She thinks she knows the truth about her history until a file on her father’s computer reveals she has sisters she never knew about. A family she’s never met. Betrayed, she realizes there’s a life waiting for her outside the walls of her daddy’s New York City penthouse and Juliet is determined to live it. Against her father’s wishes, she heads to a small beach community to meet her siblings… and finds herself way out of her depth instead.
In the personal protection business, Braden Clark thinks nothing of taking on a job to watch over a city girl in town for the summer. If her father wants to know his daughter is safe, it’s no problem and an easy way of earning a paycheck. Except Braden doesn’t count on falling for the sheltered Juliette. Watching her experience her firsts, getting an apartment, finding a job, meeting up with her lost sisters, soon Braden’s brand of protection becomes a little too personal. He’s mixing business with pleasure and lying to a woman he’s coming to care deeply about.
Sexual attraction burns bright between them and Braden is by her side as she finds herself, her family, and what it means to love... but what happens when she discovers his secret? That he’s been paid to watch over her all along?

EXCERPT:
She walked to the safe, located behind a painting, a cliché if ever there was one, and spun the dial - Her father had never upgraded to a more modern numerical touch keypad – and let herself into the safe. The dark space forced her to pull out the contents for viewing in order to search for the item she wanted with the listing of his wines.
There were folders on top and leather-bound journals underneath. She shifted the folders, which were identified by typeset labels and caught sight of her name. Curious, she placed the other items onto a table and flipped through the folder to see what was inside.
A private investigator’s report.
Subjects: Phoebe and Halley Ward, females ages 18 and 20.
Photographs of attractive, women, one pale blonde and another with light brown hair like Juliette’s.
Another page. Subject: Meg Ward Gifford, which was her mother’s name. Another photograph. She’d seen pictures of her mother before, one of the day her parents had met, another of her mother holding her as a baby. But this one showed a woman who looked older, more tired and worn down by life.
Juliette froze. She continued reading, gleaning quite the education on the parent she’d thought was dead.
The woman she’d believed her father had loved so unconditionally there hadn’t been another female for him since. Instead, Juliette was reading that the woman had sold drugs, been incarcerated, and lost two children to foster care. The report had been updated periodically over the years up through this past winter. The sisters, now twenty eight and twenty nine, lived in a beach town in Connecticut called Rosewood Bay, and Meg – her mother – lived in a city not far from there.
If Meg had other children, that meant those women were Juliette’s … sisters. Legs shaking, she lowered herself to the nearest chair, reeling from the news.
Her mother was alive?
She had siblings?
Her father had lied to her all these years?
