Protector’s Second Chance by Rose Luv

Her company’s client is becoming her friend, however her heart wants more, but it will cost her the job she loves.

As a top executive, James exudes an alpha aura, commanding attention with every step.
But beneath his tough exterior lies a man haunted by regrets and a burning desire to right the wrongs of a past that had cost him loved ones.
He closed himself off from love a long time ago.
Mariah, a new and upcoming architect, is tasked by her company to design a large orphanage for their new and lucrative client, James.
This can be the break she needs to establish herself in her field.
But her first meeting with James stirs memories of her past that Mariah had thought her memory loss had erased.
The two become fast friends and James finds himself fighting an unexpected sense of protectiveness towards her.
Around her, feelings he had buried, begin to surface, along with guilt from old-wounds.
He wants to ask her out, but he won’t put her job in jeopardy as her company has a strong policy against their consultants dating clients.

Will their chance at love withstand the trials of the past, or will it crumble under the weight of secrets long buried?
