Why Read This?

A beautifully slow-burn angel/demon romance where the demon plans actual dates and the angel is secretly kinky. The groveling is top-tier, the found family is warm, and the spice, when it finally hits, is worth every page of yearning.

Synopsis

Your fated mate is supposed to be your other half. The one you’re destined to be with. If that’s the case, why did mine run away from me? Noah I spent centuries wasting my love and attention on someone who didn’t want me. I had to leave my angelic unit to break free of his hold. Now, with the Seraphim, I’m finally happy. My ex is in my past, and I’m looking towards my future. One where, if I’m lucky, I’ll meet my fated mate. The one who is meant to complete my soul. There won’t be any question as to whether he wants me or not. That’s what fate has led me to believe. But that’s not what happens. The demon who’s meant to be mine takes one look at me and flies as hard as he can in the other direction. It’s a reminder of what I’ve been through in the past. I’m done chasing men who don’t want me. So, when Jeremiah realises his mistake and comes grovelling, I’m not in the mood to listen. Why should I, when every time I let someone in, I get hurt? But I’ve underestimated just how stubborn demons can be. Little by little, Jeremiah erodes the walls I guard myself with. I just wish I knew if I could trust him with my heart. Guarded is a thrilling angel x demon MM PNR romance. The third in the Hopeless Blessed series, each book follows a different couple. While they can be read as standalones, they are best enjoyed in order.
