Magic was supposed to stay in books.
Apparently, no one told the mages.
When a storm nearly kills me, a stranger saves my life using powers that shouldn’t exist—and vanishes without a trace. I try to forget him, forget this ever happened. I already have enough secrets: a past everyone judges me for, a pen name no one knows, and a life I rebuilt from nothing after dropping out of school last year .
But when I start at a new school, the impossible follows me.
Harley is brilliant, distant, and hiding something dangerous. He knows things about this world that he refuses to explain. And the closer I get to the truth, the clearer it becomes that I was never as safe—or as ordinary—as I believed.
I’m bound to Harley’s magic as his Charge—and to the love he’s trying desperately to deny.
So when danger finds me again, Harley is forced to reveal the full extent of his power to save me… even if it costs him everything.
A gripping urban fantasy / paranormal romance with instant attraction, secret magic, and a heroine who refuses to be defined by her past.

“There is a lot of adversity going on on in Amber’s life, some magical, others normal high school angst; such as bullying and sexual shaming. This story has something for everyone to like ! 5✨’s” – Diana Paige on Goodreads
“I absolutely love this book. It is so good. I love that Amber is such a strong character and she manages to to overcome a lot. This is a wonderfully written book. I can’t wait to Red the next one.” – Doris scales on Amazon
“The plot draws you in so that you can’t put the book down because you need to know what will happen next. I can’t wait for the next book!” Jennifer C. M on Amazon
“The protagonist—wow. She’s messy, real, a little broken, and fighting like hell just to move forward. And same, honestly. I felt every moment of her trying to outrun a past people won’t let her forget, hiding behind a pen name, keeping secrets because the truth is just too heavy. It wasn’t just a story about magic—it was about trauma, survival, and not letting people define you by your worst moment.” – Rebel’s Review on Goodreads
“The writing of these stories just pulls me in and won’t let go until the very last word.” – C. Gruver on Amazon
“Guardians is great! This book has a lot going on, magic, a little mystery and lots of emotion. Amber is going through a lot when she meets Harley and is immediately spellbound by him. Harley has secrets, but so does Amber. He says they are meant to be together, but they have some problems. I do not want to give away the ending, but I will say that the story can end here. You will probably want the next book when it comes out, though, to continue the story. Overall, I really enjoyed it and recommend it.” – Aria96 on Amazon
