His past haunts his every turn.

For years, unspeakable things were done to Thomas Wallins, the Earl of Hedstrom. A past no one knows of. A past he refuses to speak of. Because he is fine. Fine. He’s back on English soil. Has an earldom he needs to right. Bottles of whisky to be drunk. His days are drowning with emptiness, just like the shell of his soul.

He was never alone.

The one saving grace Thomas has is his cousin, who has called upon the Guardians of the Bones to covertly watch over her cousin. Izzie is the guardian to answer the call, and she devises a brilliant ruse that drops her at his door, forcing him to take her on as his ward.

Undeniable heat…

Bound by honor, Thomas takes her into his home, though refuses to acknowledge the growing attraction between them. But when the undeniable heat between the two of them proves impossible to deny, this carefully crafted scheme may fall apart with deadly implications…

One small abduction and her world falls apart.

Nemity Wheldon was abducted, yes, but she got away. Unharmed. It certainly doesn't warrant hiring a guard looking to stifle her every move. Alas, her overbearing cousin demands it, delivering Callum to her door. He's a guard. A big, burly, stubborn one. An unnervingly handsome man, yes, but the last thing she needs is him digging into her life. There are only two routes to take in this situation—annoy him or avoid him—whichever will make him quit the job.

A guardian to his bones.

And he isn't about to let a feisty Scottish heiress best him. He's there to protect her, and that's exactly what he's going to do. Never mind that he's instantly attracted to the maddening hoyden that is determined to vex him at every turn—one never touches a client.

Forced together, a game of cat and mouse is afoot.

Nemity doesn't want him to discover any of her secrets, while Callum is determined to unravel each and every one, for it is the only way to properly protect her. Yet with each secret he discovers, the danger only grows. Save her? That's a given—he's a guardian, after all. Save his heart? That may just be an insurmountable feat.

When Lauren returns home to her flat in London late one night, she is greeted at the door by her husband, Michael. There's only one problem—she's not married. She's never seen this man before in her life. But according to her friends, her much-improved decor, and the photos on her phone, they've been together for years.

As Lauren tries to puzzle out how she could be married to someone she can't remember meeting, Michael goes to the attic to change a lightbulb and abruptly disappears. In his place, a new man emerges, and a new, slightly altered life re-forms around her. Realizing that her attic is creating an infinite supply of husbands, Lauren confronts the question: If swapping lives is as easy as changing a lightbulb, how do you know you've taken the right path? When do you stop trying to do better and start actually living?
