Guarding Cressida: Book 1 Beaumont Family
She’s holding everything together.
He’s ready to tear the world apart to protect her.
Cressida Beaumont does not have time for romance.
Her life is already maxed out—renovating a collapsing farmhouse in rural Michigan, running a high-stakes wealth management firm, training for the Detroit International Marathon, and navigating an empty nest now that her younger sisters are off to college. Add a feral cat who’s claimed her house and a stalker who’s taken an unsettling interest in her, and love is officially off the table.
Then Gabriel Steele shows up.
Brooding. Brilliant. Former Marine. Secretly obsessed with books—and Jane Austen.
And convinced Cressida is his soulmate.
Texting her as “Col. Brandon” might be charming. His quiet intensity definitely is.
But Cressida doesn’t believe in fate… and she absolutely doesn’t have time for a man who looks at her like she’s his whole world.
Until everything goes wrong.
When Cressida is abducted mid-marathon, Gabriel launches a no-holds-barred rescue—backed by her wildly unconventional a stuntman stepfather, an Oscar-winning mother, and a fearless half-sister named Siren.
For Gabriel, this isn’t just another mission.
It’s personal.
It’s everything.
As danger closes in and sparks ignite, Cressida must decide whether to keep running—or finally let herself be caught by the man who’s been standing guard over her heart all along.
Fast-paced, steamy, and packed with action, heart, and humor, Guarding Cressida is a swoon-worthy romantic suspense featuring an unshakable protector, a fiercely independent heroine, and a love worth risking everything for.
