Her Guarded Heart

She smothered her hopes with guilt. He still bears scars from old wounds. Can their sweet kisses create a healing transformation?

North Carolina, 1999. Addison Tetrick refuses to become her mother. Struggling to keep boundaries between herself and her drama queen of a parent, the frustrated college student seizes a chance to head to Russia for a semester abroad. But when her bubbly French roommate drags her to a local club, she didn't expect her first night in a new country to include an instant attraction to a tall and handsome stranger.

Sergei Petrova is besotted. Delighted to realize the beautiful foreigner is enrolled at his university, the distracted scholar impulsively signs up for a classic literature class while he works up the nerve to introduce himself. And though he can tell she's hopelessly out of his league, the brooding physics major vows to move mountains to win her over.

Certain that lowering her defenses will derail her entire plan for a self-sufficient future, Addison fights the pull of his gorgeous smiles. And hopeful that his sincerity will break down any barriers, Sergei ignores the hints that his beloved is being pushed to her limits.

Can this star-crossed pair turn passion and practicality into an unbreakable formula?
