Standing on the edge of adulthood, Alivia should have been looking toward her future with excitement. Instead, the tragic death of her parents hurled her full speed into Mr. Delaney’s life. She was never supposed to be here with him, in his house, under his care. He was her father’s much younger business partner and now her legal guardian. Everything about him intimidated her. He was powerful, aloof, and undeservedly sexy. Certain that her very existence annoyed him, Alivia did her best to avoid him and spent her time counting down the days until she graduated and would be free. However, an unexpected encounter on her 18th birthday thrust them both into a tangled mess of blurred lines, lust, and family secrets. Unable to control her desire for him, Alivia jumps headfirst into a forbidden and all-encompassing physical affair. The more Alivia discovers about Mr. Delaney and her family, the more danger she encounters. Exciting and sexy, Guardian will take you on a ride full of surprising dips, turns, and distortions.
