Evelyn He is an arrogant jerk. The last of the single hunkholes and, unfortunately, my partner for the wedding of Lourde and Barrett. I'll probably kill him before the week is up. I should despise him. But the more time we spend together, and the more he stares at me like he wants to be with me, the more I question why I hate him. Magnus She's a stubborn pain in my ass. Barrett's sister, Evelyn, is grating on my every nerve. Not only are we stuck together for the wedding, but now I'm her carer too. I should dread spending time with her, especially since she's nothing like the women I'm usually with. Except there's something about her. Something I can't quite articulate. And I feel compelled to stay. Guarded Love is standalone with a Happy Ever After. However, I recommend reading the books in order as the characters are interconnected throughout the series.
