Guarding Georgia by Anna Brooks

Dirty secrets. Small town justice. Unexpected heroes… Welcome to Warrenville.

Georgia Westbury was the one girl I could never have, but the only one I ever wanted. The rickety train track that divided our town wasn’t the only difference between us. She was sweet, innocent, and rich while I was nothing but a dirty delinquent.
I just needed a chance to show her how good we’d be together, but when she laughed in my face I finally gave her what she wanted… I left her alone.
Until she needed my filthy hands to save her.
And one touch was all it took to change everything we thought we knew.
Then she disappeared.
Now ten years later, she’s back and looking for redemption. She thinks all she needs to do is aim her baby blues at me and tell me she’s sorry and I’ll forgive her for what she did.
Well, she’s right.
But her returning home comes with consequences, and this time, I’ll do more than protect her body. I’ll also guard her heart.
