Smith takes a job protecting Deja Fox, one of the biggest names in music, and walks in expecting trouble. The woman behind the stage name is Cami Jenson, and she is nothing like he prepared himself for. She is guarded, yes, but also genuine in ways that catch him off guard. People have used her. Her circle is small and full of gaps where trust should be. Smith decides, without quite meaning to, that he wants to fill one of those gaps. He knows his limits. He cannot give her a pack. He cannot give her financial stability beyond what she already has. What he can do is keep her safe, and he throws himself into that with everything he has. Then Cami enrolls in Heat Haven. Smith has to stay close, professional, present. His feelings are no longer easy to compartmentalize. Protector's Promise is a standalone MF medium burn romance set in the Heat Haven Universe. Readers new to the series can follow the story on its own, though familiarity with the universe adds depth to how Heat Haven functions and who the supporting characters are.
