"If the rumors are true, we could all be in serious trouble..." Bart… I know what people see when they look at me: a tattooed guard dog with a heart of steel. Hell, that may just be true. But I know where I come from, and I stick to my values. Prostitution ring or no, Nico needs my help. He’s the victim here, and I’m going to protect him. But can I protect him from myself? "Please help me." Nico… I thought I was stuck in this life for good, but a glimmer of hope from a place I least expected is turning my world and my heart upside-down. Between my pimp and the man I thought cared for me, I’ve been trapped for so long that I’m jaded beyond my years. But Bart wants to help me. Bart understands me. And just maybe, Bart can make sure I get back the life I deserve. "I'll never let anyone hurt you again." The Protector is a dark gay romance with an older man falling for someone he shouldn't, and a tender romance coming out of the most unusual of circumstances. The Protector can be read by itself but carries more impact when read as the last in the series. Bart's story is the final installment in the Sin City Sentries and ends with a HEA.
