Dream Guardian

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

Gutsy, Heartfelt, Urgent, Resilient. Tender. Aspirational.

To save two worlds from an encroaching darkness, a tough, disciplined Special Forces Dream Guardian must protect a vulnerable family and rediscover the very emotion she believed was a myth: love.

The tale is emotionally resonant and high-octane, blending the gritty duty of a thriller with the tender, redemptive heart of a contemporary drama.

Tasked with shielding Earth's children from soul-stealing nightmares, a cynical Special Forces soldier from another world finds her heart—and her mission—threatened by an abused little girl and the one man she wasn't supposed to fall for.
