Protect Me by Claire Raye

Life at its greatest is worth protecting.
Josh Cooper stayed when everything in her life suddenly fell apart. She wants to believe it’s forever, but she still hasn’t told him the truth.
Charlie McCall is everything he ever wanted. His present and his future. But he’s only just beginning to learn the true depth of her secrets.
Paralysed by fear that a future together just isn’t possible, they struggle with how to deal with the trauma life has thrown at them.
But it’s only now that everything’s come to light, will they do whatever they can to protect it.

The Hawthorn Hills Duet Series follows eight couples. Each two-book duet must be read in order to enjoy the couple’s full story, but the series can be read in any order. You’ll find angst-filled, slow-burn, epic love stories along with topical storylines and some amazingly real and raw characters.
