Guarding Her Heart
by Jade Webb
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Trust me, even though I’ve had a silver spoon in my mouth since I was a fetus and have a world-famous pop diva as a sister, there is nothing I want more in the world than to fade into the background and live out my Law & Order fantasy of becoming a public defender.
The only problem is my dad won’t bankroll law school unless I spend the summer following my older sister on her arena tour, keeping her out of trouble and making sure she doesn’t have yet another embarrassing public meltdown. Now relegated to a glorified babysitter, I am stuck lugging my ten-pound LSAT prep books through hotel lobbies and taking practice tests in my sister’s dressing rooms.
Then I find myself caught in a love triangle with my sister’s arch nemesis, bad boy popstar Jordan James and Liam, my sister’s confusing and irritatingly gorgeous Scottish bodyguard. Too bad I’ve sworn off love after seeing my own parent’s train wreck of marriage end with heartache and misery.
I’m tired of living under my family’s careful rules and law school is my way out. I won’t let anything get in my way. I won’t let anyone close enough to break down my walls. I have to guard my heart.

Now for an excerpt:
“I don’t believe it. Am I finally seeing Gabby Monroe, in
the flesh, dancing to Daphni Monroe’s music?” Melissa playfully asks as she
approaches, holding her hands up as if she’s filming a documentary. I catch
Liam walking beside her and instantly a smile sneaks up my face.
“Not dancing,” I argue. “Swaying.”
“Say whatever you want. I have it on film,” she says as she
again pantomimes a camera.
Liam chuckles and I shoot them both an incredulous look
before rolling my eyes. “Melissa, your dad jokes are seriously next-level embarrassing.”
Melissa dramatically flips her long, red hair over her
shoulder. “Whatever, Gabby. I know you love them. Anyways, I got to scoot. We
are working on trying to get Daphni a performance slot for the American Music
Awards.”
“Hi,” I say, suddenly feeling incredibly self-conscious as
my brain instantly replays our kiss from last night. I had fallen asleep with
the taste of him on my lips and a dorky smile plastered on my face. Daphni
hadn’t shut up about it either, and had insisted I give her a play-by-play
reenactment. And now that he was here again, all I could do was stare at his
lips and pray they would find their way back to mine again.
“Hi,” he responds, and I feel a jab of surprise at how
nervous he looks. He shoves his hands into his pockets and looks over to the
stage where Daphni is performing before bringing his piercing grey eyes back to
mine. “Did you sleep well last night?”

About the Author:
I am a lover of
romance novels that feature strong heroines who know that the loves that may
come into their lives are always the icing, and never the cake.
I have loved
romance novels since I was a teen, sneaking them into my Bible studies at my
all-girls Catholic school. I love strong heroines who know that the men that may
come into their lives are always the icing, and never the cake.
Thanks to my
own marriage, I have learned that the challenges of life can only help to make
love stronger and I am grateful to my partner for embodying all the magic that
love can offer.
When I am not
writing or dreaming up new love stories, I am working in a retirement community
outside of Boston that provides me with enough writing material for ten
lifetimes.
