Fearless Protector
Nick O’Malley is willing to do anything for his brothers. He’s spent the last month on a small farm in remote Canada trying to make deals and keep everyone involved safe. So when it’s finally time to head back to Boston, the only thing he’s going to miss is Cleo. The inflexible but beautiful lawyer who tried desperately to keep him in line has been equal parts annoying and alluring.
Cleo is ready. She has her bags packed and her eyes on a new project in Portland. The desire to keep moving is what always guides her. Nick, the stubborn O’Malley brother who was sent to “help” her on the farm, started as a thorn in Cleo's side and, in the end, turned into the skipping in her heart.
When their project gets extended, they each let out a secret sigh of relief to be spending more time together. But the job at hand proves to be growing in danger and complexity. When the past catches up with Cleo, will the mounting attraction between them be extinguished by the truth she’s hiding?

About the author
Danielle Stewart
108 books615 followersWriting is a way to make a lot of different people do exactly what you want them to do. When I can’t get my toddler to listen to me, I turn to my characters. They always cooperate!
I currently live in Charlotte, North Carolina with my husband and seven year old son. I have perfected the ability to write in a noisy house and create story lines while folding laundry.
Ten Things to know about me:
1. I have a fear of whales. All whales. The noise they make. The sight of them (even on tv). I don't think this phobia has a name and I've never met anyone else who feels this way. I blame it on the 3D movie when I was 7 at the Boston Museum of Science. (Thanks Dad.)
2. When I get hungry it brings out the worst in me. My friends and family know to keep me well fed. They pack snacks now.
3. I can cook but not bake. Not even a little. Not even a box of brownies.
4. If there is a song I like it is normal to hear me listening to it a hundred times (give or take) in a row.
5. I do not, under any circumstances, read directions. Who has time for that? Making mac & cheese by the seat of my pants for the last 25 years.
6. Like a black-out drunk, I have lost hours of my life mysteriously to Pinterest. If you haven't tried it yet... don't. Save your self.
7. Before I became a mother, lots of things grossed me out. Now nothing does.
8. My favorite food is food... my least favorite food is no food. I love food. (apply the same rule to wine)
9. I do not have a green thumb. I have the kind of thumb that kills any type of plant ever given to me. Whatever kind of thumb that is... I have it.
10. Writing has changed my life. Not just the career it's created but the way I feel when I write. If you have something you love to do I hope you get the opportunity to do it.

wonderful story
Like this whole series, this was a great story. Nick is a complex character with an amazing sense of family loyalty. Close is an excellent young lawyer with a troubled past that she can’t seem to shake. It takes her time with Nick to help her see her troubled past doesn’t define her and she can do something about it. This is a great story, one you should read!

Fearless Protector
I like this series, but there are just too many loose ends that need to be tied up. When I finally get to the book where everything is tied up, if there is one, I'm not going to remember what I wanted to know.
