Guarded By Grayson by A.J. Andersen

Nothing has ever come easy for Nikki Brooks, so when she meets Grayson Callen it feels like maybe, for the first time, her luck is changing. Until she’s taken by Dominic Cerelli to satisfy his dark intentions. Nikki holds on against all hope, praying to be rescued. She never expects salvation to come in the form of the man she had connected with, and had clung to the memory of, during those dark days.
Once freed of her bonds the work of healing begins and Grayson is determined to stay by her side while she learns to navigate a world that no longer feels safe, to learn to trust the people who rally around her and to dare to open her heart to the one man who lights a fire in her tattered heart.
Guarded by Grayson is book one in the Nikki and Grayson Duet and is part of the K&S Securities Series. The duet CAN be read as a standalone, but is best read in conjunction with the other books in the K&S series for background and to know who everyone is.
