Protecting Tessa by Lila Ferrari

Tessa Donnelly is living her dream as an event planner. But her life shatters when she discovers her seemingly perfect boyfriend isn’t just a nightclub owner—he’s an enforcer for the mob. Terrified, Tessa makes the difficult decision to expose him. When her actions put her life at risk, she’s forced to run for her life and seeks refuge in a secluded cabin deep in the woods.
Ford McCallum, a former soldier, is haunted by the horrors of war. There’s no family to come home to. He’s seen too much and craves the solace of his secluded cabin. Working for the Brotherhood Alliance lets him use the skills learned in the service to help others, but peace is hard to find.
When danger follows Tessa, Ford and the Brotherhood Alliance step in. Will Tessa reclaim her shattered dreams and learn to trust again? Can Ford overcome his bitterness with life and protect the woman who reignites feelings he thought long buried? And can two damaged people let go of their past and find the happiness they deserve?
