A Journey of love, trust, and second chances.

How do you heal when the love that saved you is suddenly gone? 
Abbie never had much—no family, no roots, and no real reason to believe in happy endings. But everything changed when she met Tom. With him, she found not only love but the feeling of home she’d always longed for. Their life together was simple and beautiful—until the unthinkable happened. Left with nothing but the memories they shared and the comforting presence of their loyal dog, Kohl, Abbie is faced with the daunting task of starting over. 
As Abbie tries to piece her life back together, a series of unexpected discoveries about Tom’s past shake her to the core. The man she thought she knew may have been carrying secrets, and those secrets might hold the key to understanding the life they shared. Was their love real, or just a beautiful illusion? And can she ever believe in love again? 
Determined to find answers—and herself—Abbie embarks on an emotional journey of healing, with Kohl as her constant companion. Along the way, she meets people who challenge her heart and help her rediscover the strength she didn’t know she had. Through heartbreak and hope, she begins to realize that sometimes the path to new beginnings starts where everything once fell apart. 
“Guarding My Heart” is a powerful story of second chances, buried truths, and the kind of love that finds you when you least expect it. Poignant, heartwarming, and impossible to put down—this is one journey you won’t forget. 

When life tests the strength of your heart, will you guard it—or risk it all for love? Follow a powerful story of courage, faith, and redemption in this unforgettable novel that tugs at the heartstrings.
