Unwavering Protector
(2025)(The seventh book in the NEXTUS Security series)
A novel by Lacey Kendrick
The final chapter of the NEXTUS Security series is here… and it’s going to leave you breathless.
He’s older. Stoic. Built like a fortress.
She’s the one woman who could bring him to his knees.
Expect sizzling tension, forbidden touches, and a protector who won’t stop until she’s his… in every way.
Annabelle Edgars is trouble.
Young, smart, and so gorgeous it’s a distraction I can’t afford.
We’ve known each other for a while.
Just friends, walking the line we never crossed.
But there’s something about her lately...
Her smile, the spark in her eyes when she thinks I’m not looking...
It pulls me in deeper every time I try to push her away.
I’m ex-military.
Trained to handle threats.
But this?
The way she fits perfectly in my arms?
The way her soft curves press against me, her lips parting like she’s daring me to kiss her?
She’s testing every last bit of control I have.
When I pull her close, whispering, ‘I���ve got you,’ I know I’m already a goner.
There’s a part of her life I never knew...
Something that ties us together more than either of us expected.
And once I learn the truth... there’s no turning back.
The threats closing in on her aren’t going anywhere.
Keeping her safe is the easy part.
Keeping my hands off her?
Hell no.
And once I have a taste of her...
I’ll never let her go.
Not when I know what’s at stake.
Welcome to the final chapter of the NEXTUS Security series… a slow-burn, high-stakes romance packed with tropes readers crave:age-gap romance, fiercely protective hero, slow-burn tension, ex-SEAL alpha vibes, forbidden love, surprise baby, small-town romance suspense, and of course... a swoon-worthy HEA!
