Rugged & At-Risk

***Rugged & At-Risk is an updated version of The Tough Warrior: Quinn Family Romance. The book has been redone for continuity and a fresh look for the series.***

A famous actress at risk. A hardened protector who refuses to acknowledge their love. Two hearts bound together and torn apart.
Griff Quinn, a gruff and devoted warrior, has one purpose—to save lives and make restitution for the wrongs he’s committed. Now, the life he is tasked to protect is none other than Scarlett Lily—the love he left ten years ago to save her from his inevitable heartbreak. Being so close to the woman his heart longs for and can never have tortures his soul. He must find a way to protect her while remaining cold and distant.
When Griff finally comes for her after a decade of separation, Scarlett is ready to reconnect with an Oscar-worthy kiss. But he only seems to be there to fulfill his duty. His coldness hurts worse than the years of rejection and silence. Scarlett has never stopped loving Griff, but she isn’t sure that anything will penetrate his hardened heart.

Can Scarlett find a way to get through Griff’s tough shell, or is Griff too far past feeling to let even the love of his life in?
