No one understands my obsession with my best friend’s bodyguard. They don’t see the sweet man inside the stoic exterior. The one who buys me novels and thinks I don’t know he follows me home. He’s fighting feelings for me despite what he calls “professional boundaries.” When he volunteers to marry me so I can access my trust fund, I’m more convinced than ever. But it takes more than a Vegas wedding to make a marriage. And that prenup I never thought we’d need? It may be the one thing to save us. Dean She has no idea how far I’d go to keep her safe and make her mine. Bronwyn McRae is the woman of my dreams. She’s class and sass. Funny and sweet. She’s also the daughter of a powerful family who would never accept me. So I make a plan. I walk my angel down the aisle and straight into a prenup my lawyer calls “predatory” and I call “insurance.” For one beautiful day, our future looms so bright I contemplate buying Bronwyn her own pair of aviator shades. Then, in the space of a phone call, the world as I know it falls apart. Now, I’m raising my niece, hiding my nightmares, and fighting for the one woman I'd do anything to protect. Secrets are stacked around us like a house of cards. If we want any chance at a future, we’ll need to trust each other with more than our hearts. We’ll need to trust each other with the truth. I Always Did_ is a sexy standalone in the Trust & Tequila series with an HEA and no cheating. It's not necessary to listen to I Almost Do first, but you will find spoilers for the first book in this one. Intended for mature listeners._
