Redleg Security

My name is Sue O’Malley, and I’ve been keeping it awkward since 1996. Another thing about me? I might be in love with my bodyguard. Leo Mason is all I’ve been able to think about since he broke my heart and left me standing alone on my front porch six months ago.

But now he’s back. He says someone is after us and insists we hide in his remote cabin until the threat is neutralized. It’ll be just the two of us with one bed, along with all his muscles, tats, and those f--king smoldering glances that burn up my skin.

I trust him to keep me safe from danger, but can I trust him to protect my heart too?

My name is Leo Mason. As a bodyguard with Redleg Security and a former Army Ranger, I’ve got lots of secrets and even more enemies. Six months ago, I did the unthinkable when I fell for a woman I was protecting.

She’s too young for me—too innocent—and being with me comes at a cost. One I won't force her to pay. So I did the best thing I could do to save her—I left.

But now there’s a new danger threatening her, and I’ll stop at nothing to protect Sue, my angel. I broke her heart before, but this time things will be different. This time, I’ll be her hero.

Heartbreak Hero is a medium slow-burn romantic-suspense novel with some rom-com vibes, plot twists, steamy times, foul language, and binge-worthy action. This novel features a plus-sized, neurodivergent heroine and a protective hero who helps her see her quirks as strengths and loves her exactly as she is. There is a happily ever after, no cheating, and no other woman drama. Tropes: second chance, age-gap, and forced proximity. Check the front of the book or the author's website for content warnings.
