War Guard: a Military Veteran Protector Romance Thriller

By Harlan Kest

One mission. One woman. No room for failure.

War Guard is a pulse-pounding military-veteran romantic thriller where survival depends on trust forged under fire.

Jackson Cross is a former Army Ranger turned elite security contractor. He lives by rules forged in combat: protect the asset, control the perimeter, never get emotionally involved. Those rules shatter the moment he is assigned to guard Dr. Elena Voss.

Elena is not just another client. She is a cybersecurity specialist whose discovery could expose a global terror network. Now she is hunted, betrayed, and running out of places to hide.

As assassins close in and borders disappear, Jax must keep Elena alive while confronting the ghosts of his past. Forced into isolation together, attraction ignites where discipline once ruled. But in a world where trust can be fatal, desire becomes its own battlefield.

When the final confrontation arrives, Jax must decide what he is willing to sacrifice: the mission, his redemption, or the woman who has become his reason to fight.

War Guard delivers relentless action, emotional depth, and a powerful protector romance grounded in military realism.
