Some lessons begin with falling down. Naomi's began with learning how to stand tall again. Naomi Ellis has always protected others-first as a librarian, then as a single mother to her ten-year-old son, Omari. But when she finds a cruel message stuffed in her son's locker, she realizes it's time to teach him more than books can offer. A chance encounter at Sweetgum Jiu-Jitsu & Wellness introduces them to a new kind of strength-and to Khadir Grant, the quiet man who once offered Naomi safety when she needed it most. Now a respected instructor, Khadir runs his dojo with patience, purpose, and heart. For Naomi and Omari, it becomes more than a place to train-it becomes a place to heal. As Naomi's guard begins to lower, long-buried feelings start to rise. But trusting someone again, especially in a town that whispers, takes more courage than any black belt test. With protective instincts, slow-burning chemistry, and the kind of love that shows up when it counts, Khadir just might be everything Naomi never thought she'd find. As a heartwarming, sweet, clean romance set in the beloved Southern town of Sweetgum Meadows, Guarded Hearts is a feel-good story of second chances, small-town support, and the kind of love worth fighting for. Start reading today and discover the healing power of love, loyalty, and learning how to let someone in.
