He focused on protecting the royal family and keeping his feelings to himself. It was the only way he could take another breath…and another.

His family and friends lure him back, but it’s one person alone he needs and cannot stay away from any longer. With a lot to answer for and many apologies to make, he’s not sure where to start. But when things get dicey, they have each other’s back - even if it ends up being the last thing they do. He has no chance of protecting his heart because it already belongs to his best friend, but how do they survive when someone doesn’t want them to?Protecting his Heart is a kinky, second chance romance with a grieving bodyguard and a childhood best friend who knows him better than anyone else.

Who is he willing to die for? Nick wants what every person wants - someone by his side through thick and thin. But why does he always pick the duds?

While everyone is working hard to find those responsible, someone else is taken as a pawn in their game. And it’s Nick’s turn to fight. Malachi has worked his whole life to get where he was. His obsession with the royal family stems from a chance meeting when he had been six years old. Despite hating to air their dirty laundry to the world, he eases his conscience by secretly working to show them in a better light. No one knows his alter-ego, but it’s getting harder to hide. When Nick protects Malachi from becoming another statistic, the reporter is given the chance of a lifetime - but it’s not without its dangers. And they’re soon fighting for their lives. Protecting his Secrets is a kinky, forced proximity romance with a serious yet funny bodyguard and a reporter who thinks he’s got the inside scoop.

Elouise East writes sweet and steamy connections in gay romance. She also touches on taboo stories under the name Elouise R East. Books that tell the stories where friendship and family are the focal point - be it blood family or chosen - are very important to her. That’s why she includes a variety of personalities, talents, ages, situations and abilities as she believes a story or character needs. She wants her characters to be real, to be relatable, to be free to have whatever views they tell her they have. And trust her, most of the time, she does not have any say in the matter! Her characters come to life on the page for her as well as her readers. Their stories unfold in front of her as she writes, and she has very little input into how they want to be shown. Just like real life, the lives of her characters change with every choice, every interaction and every conversation. And she wouldn’t have it any other way. She writes books that are emotionally realistic, even if liberties are taken with other aspects of the stories. She doesn’t know any other way to write. It comes from deep inside. Who is she? A single parent to two children living in the UK. An avid reader who still tries to devour every book she can get her hands on. A student of learning about any subject that takes her fancy. An author of books she would read herself. And a romantic at heart who loves anything cheesy. Who’s joining her on her journey?
