Protective Detail

She doesn’t want a bodyguard. He doesn’t want the job.

Beth Langford is a field surgeon who has spent years in the world’s most dangerous places keeping other people alive. Then, on a break between deployments, she’s violently mugged, and her father hires a protection specialist she didn’t ask for and doesn’t think she needs, however handsome he is.

Wade Ashworth is a former Green Beret with Cadence Security. To him, this is a favor for a family friend: keep the daughter safe, then move on.

On her last deployment, Beth heard something that someone powerful needs to stay buried. She doesn’t know what it means, and the people who want her silenced are running out of patience.

Now Wade is under the same roof, standing between Beth and a threat that’s growing bolder by the day. Keeping her alive is the job. Falling for a woman who refuses to be handled was never part of it.

A high-heat romantic suspense with a guaranteed happily ever after.

The Cadence Security Series

Six books. One team. A world that keeps getting bigger.

The Cadence Security Series follows the team at Cadence Security, an executive protection agency staffed by exceptional people who are very good at keeping their personal and professional lives completely separate.

Until they can’t.

Each book is a complete standalone romance with a guaranteed happily ever after. But the world underneath keeps turning, the cases connect, and there are things happening in the background of every book that won’t make sense until suddenly they do.

About Rae

Hello, I’m Rae.

I write romantic suspense and romantasy: stories with smart women and protective alpha men.

Whatever the world, expect plenty of heat, real danger, and a happily ever after every single time.

I’ve been reading romance, thrillers and fantasy my whole life, and I love what happens when an author blends them well. My books are my attempt to do exactly that, and my first romantasy is in the works.

When I’m not writing, you’ll find me somewhere in the British countryside with a large cup of tea, my trusty dog, and a book I definitely should have put down an hour ago.

I hope you love my characters as much as I do.
