  Forbidden She’s sworn to protect him. He’s determined to unravel her. Neither is prepared for what comes next. Brooke Carson is the best in the game—an ex-Green Beret turned elite Secret Service agent who plays by the book and never lets her guard down. So when she’s assigned to protect Jace Morgan, the flirtatious, unpredictable son of the President, she braces for the worst—and gets exactly that.

In Tamara’s Journey Through Trials and Tears, readers are invited into a life that moves through pain, secrecy, and personal transformation—with honesty that’s both tender and unflinching.
