A tender, emotional romance about rescue, redemption, and the love that heals them both.

She’s spent her life surviving. He’s spent his trying to save everyone else.
When their paths cross, both will learn that love can be the most dangerous — and most beautiful — act of all.

At twenty-three, Bethany Anderson has no one left to depend on. Between her double shifts at the hospital and her lonely attic room, life is a constant struggle just to stay afloat. But when illness and exhaustion finally bring her down, fate steps in — in the form of Dr. Smith Barington, a brilliant but guarded man haunted by his own past mistakes.

What begins as compassion soon deepens into something neither expected. Smith’s fierce need to protect Bethany draws him closer than he knows is wise — and when he finds her homeless, he takes control of her future, finding her a safe position at the prestigious Prescott Manor.

Surrounded by new friends and fresh beginnings, Bethany starts to build a life she never dreamed possible — until jealousy, rumor, and heartbreak threaten to tear it apart.

Caught between gratitude and forbidden love, Bethany must decide if she can trust her own heart — and if Smith’s protection is the shelter she’s always needed, or the one thing holding her back.

His to Protect is a sweeping, emotionally rich romance about second chances, quiet courage, and the love that transforms two broken souls into something whole. Perfect for fans of The Notebook, Me Before You, and It Ends with Us.

His to Protect is a clean romance.
