Jake (The Protectors Series #26) — Autographed Edition

Jake has spent years carrying the weight of a tragedy he cannot undo. After a devastating accident took his wife, the former Dark Guardian was left with more than grief. He also carries a secret known by only one other living person—a truth that has fueled the guilt he refuses to leave behind. Facing that secret may be Jake’s only chance at finding peace.

Then Jessie Reed dances into his life. Jessie has devoted herself to ballet, but passion doesn’t always pay the bills. When she begins working with Nicole Callahan, Jessie is unexpectedly pulled into the dangerous world of the VC Warriors and Dark Guardians—and directly into Jake’s path. After Jake saves her life not once, but twice, keeping his distance becomes increasingly difficult. His growing feelings for Jessie awaken emotions he isn’t sure he deserves to feel, yet no matter how hard he tries, he can’t seem to stay away from her.

What Jake doesn’t realize is that Jessie carries burdens of her own. Drawn together by pain neither fully understands, they slowly form a fragile bond while struggling against the guilt holding each of them captive. But sometimes the past has one final thing to say before it can finally be released. When a message arrives from beyond the grave, Jake and Jessie may discover that forgiveness doesn’t mean forgetting—and that letting go of guilt could finally give them permission to choose happiness.

Jake is Book Twenty-Six in The Protectors Series by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Teresa Gabelman, delivering grief, healing, supernatural mystery, second chances, and an emotional romance between two people learning they don’t have to carry the past alone.
