The Guardian of my Soul
Soul’s Desire Series
Book 1
Emily A. Lawrence
“The Guardian Of My Soul” is the first book in the Soul’s Desire
Series, and tells the story of Kristen
and Alec, two people who struggle
with one another, as well as with their own fears and insecurities.
Book blurb:
Some have said “The Guardian of my Soul” is “The
Bodyguard” meets “Taming of the Shrew”, a compelling look at two people who
find they have more in common than they ever dreamed.
Kristen Mancuso, daughter of a renowned fashion
designer has everything her heart desires, and yet she’s still unhappy. After
her father’s death, her mother’s overprotectiveness has prevented Kristen from
choosing her own path in life, and she often feels as if she's a prisoner in
her own home. Kristen thought her twenty-first birthday would magically bring
her the freedom she craved. She was wrong. When her mother hires Alec Warner to
be her personal bodyguard, Kristen rebels against it, unaware of the true
reasons why he’s needed and the very real danger threatening her safety. Having
someone shadow her every move is the last thing she wants. Alec is handsome,
intimidating and determined to stand between Kristen and anyone who would harm
her.
Kristen doesn’t know what to do with Alec. She’s drawn
to him, and while he is committed to his job, he refuses to allow her to
control him the way she does with other men. Their relationship is volatile and
explosive, yet they discover they have more in common than they ever dreamed.
Together they face demons from their past and secrets which could tear them
apart.
Alec and Kristen fight their attraction for one
another, but that’s one battle where losing may very well give them everything
their souls desire…

Excerpt:
The heady smell of male fragrance filled my senses and my heavy
eyelids jerked open. In a corner of my moonlit room Alec sat quietly in an
armchair. I jumped with a start the moment our eyes met, the throbbing in my
chest almost suffocating me.
He stood up and walked toward me gracefully, visibly not affected
that I’d caught him in my room staring at me in the middle of the night.
I looked at him speechless and grabbed the blanket, pulling it up to
my neck. I clenched my fists around it to block his view of my eager body.
“What are you doing here?” My voice was soft and trembling.
He gazed at me, but didn’t answer. He climbed next to me in bed and
I scooted to the far edge of it, but he was faster and lowered himself on top
of me, trapping me beneath him. His eyes were glued to my mouth and I knew he
was about to kiss me.
Strangely, I didn’t protest and when his lips brushed mine I gently
parted them to allow his tongue to join the game. I loved the swirl of his
tongue against mine and my arms wrapped around his neck, welcoming him.
The unfathomable physical attraction and the sexual tension floating
in the air were enough to make me lose my head and allow him to do things I
would have normally forbidden him to do.
A sob tore through my throat as he kissed me with searing passion,
his hot body melting into mine and pressing me against the mattress. Threading
his fingers through my long hair, he released my mouth and nibbled my earlobe,
eliciting a soft moan from me. Next, he traced a line along the curve of my
neck, leaving a trail of wet kisses all the way to my chest. With deft fingers
he grabbed the soft fabric of my nightgown and pulled it down, exposing my
breasts and hardened nipples. His hot breath fanned over them and his sexy
groan sent a shock wave of pleasure racing through me, bursting out toward my
fingers and toes. When his lips locked around one nipple I sobbed out loud with
relief and impatience. He bit it gently in response, arousing me beyond my
belief.
Alec’s hand reached beneath my nightgown and he groaned when he
found no underwear to stop him. My legs spread of their own accord when he
began touching me intimately, probing at my liquid center, expertly circling my
most sensitive spot. I ground myself against his hand and next thing I knew
he’d slipped down there, pushing my thighs wider still, his eyes feasting
greedily on my smooth, creamy skin. Alec buried his face into me and licked
feverishly until my legs wobbled. Reaching down, I passed my fingers through
his hair, all the while biting my lips to muffle my cries of pure bliss.
Alec looked up at me and I was captured in his gaze. I watched him
watching me as he sucked and nipped at me until I felt myself falling. The
sensation became so intense I just had to close my eyes.
