The Safeguarded Heart: A Steamy Workplace Romantic Suspense
About this ebook
Serafina Evans built her company the way she built everything else: carefully, from the ground up, with nothing left to chance. Forty-three employees. A niche no one else in Seattle thought to carve. And a heart she's kept locked away since she was nineteen.
Then Buone Case signs on as a client, and Alessandro Giordano walks into her conference room.
He's Italian, immovable, and knows exactly how handsome he is. He fights her on every detail of a project she understands better than he does, and he never once looks away when she's speaking. After weeks of it, Sera does something she hasn't done in her adult life. She lets her guard down.
Alessandro has a wife. Who lives less than twenty minutes away.
By the time Sera learns that, she's already in love with him.
And while her personal life comes apart, someone is quietly dismantling her company from the inside. A theft becomes a tampered report. A tampered report becomes a lost client, then spyware on her network. And then something far worse than sabotage.
Sera has spent ten years proving she doesn't need anyone. She's about to find out what that cost her.
The Safeguarded Heart is the beginning of Sera’s story, which continues in All of Me.
