This is the origin story of the entire Guardian HRS universe. CJ is on leave from his team, finally witnessing the execution of the man who killed his baby sister — closing the worst chapter of his life. Melissa is a survivor trying to step into something new.
Then a new psychopath enters both their lives.
Every operator who came after CJ, every rescue, every mission, every love story in the Guardian universe — all of it stands on what these two built.

Protective Alpha Heroes
Can't find a hero who feels dangerous enough, devoted enough, and impossible to forget?
You're tired of romance where the stakes feel too small and the hero gives up too easily.
Ellie Masters heroes are elite operators, federal agents, mountain rescuers, billionaires, rock stars — protectors who run toward danger when everyone else runs away.
High-Stakes Romantic Suspense
Want more than banter and butterflies?
You want danger, adrenaline, secrets, betrayals, rescues — and a love story that has to survive the fire.
These books deliver hostage rescues, off-the-books missions, criminal conspiracies, rogue AI threats, elite teams, and romance forged under pressure.
Interconnected Worlds
Love finding cameos, crossovers, and hidden connections?
You don't just want one book. You want a universe you can fall into.
Angel Fire, Guardian HRS, Cerberus, TF9, Angel's Peak, and the standalone worlds connect through characters, history, found family, and shared emotional DNA.
