Who says guardians can't be sexy and sassy, with one hell of a right hook? Alston guardian, Olivia Roven, knows how dangerous her job can be, and has felt the darkness that can tear families apart. Rushing home to save her aunt from a Dragon Hunter, Olivia discovers a bigger plot against Alston. Livi radiates sassiness, especially toward Tommy Moilanin, her former childhood friend, and unbeknownst to Livi. . . her future mate. Kept apart so she could concentrate on her training, Livi realizes how strong her bond with Tommy is. Tommy is a Lyken warrior, strong and proud, and he makes sure Livi's guardian side understands his dominance, as their bond grows into a relationship they both yearn for.
