Guardian of the Heart She Broke
The second Greta Beaumont stepped into that lawyer’s office, her perfectly ordered life shattered: her estranged sister was dead, and she was now legal guardian to an eight-year-old niece she’d never met. The last person she expected to see was Matteo Nettleton—the man whose heart she destroyed ten years ago—now the sun-bronzed contractor hired to restore her sister’s crumbling cliffside house so the little girl doesn’t lose her only home. Forced into blistering proximity every single day, their accidental touches and vicious late-night arguments keep ripping open old wounds… and something far more dangerous. As the child’s laughter starts gluing them into a fragile family, Greta realizes walking away this time won’t just break two hearts—it might destroy the little girl who needs them both to stay.
