About this ebook

Dive into this billionaire romance, best friend to lovers, royal romance!


One royal error in judgment was all it took for me to lose everything. 


I’ve wasted years waiting to get my life back, and I finally have an opportunity. It’s a simple undercover job--but with a catch. A thirteen month-old, crying, diaper-wearing catch. Because I’m not going undercover as a cook, or a driver. I’m the new manny.


If it will get me back in the royal family’s good graces, I’ll grin and bear it. Even on the worst days, I know this will be worth it. I’ll keep my head down and do my job.


But it’s getting harder and harder to ignore my forbidden attraction to the baby’s mother.


The attraction that could ruin my last chance to get back in the palace.


So I’ll just get back in her bed one more time…


(This is Book 1 in the Heiress duet.)

When it comes to security no one is better than the Royal Guard, even if you are not part of the guard, they are elite and fierce. After Ariel walks away for the guard she decides to go into business doing what she does best, protecting people. She needs a tam as badass as her and her first recruit is Jax, ex Royal Guard. With the promise that she could get him back into the Royal Guard, something nearly impossible, he agrees to help her. Jax is not prepared for how he will feel and what will happen when they meet their first client, Neela. Neela is going through a rough patch in her business and in her personal life, and when things seem that nothing else could go wrong, she receives that call that will change her life forever. Her best friend from childhood has died and has left Neela in charge of her daughter. Due to Willa’s untimely death, her lawyer decides that Neela and the baby need special protection and hires Ariel and Jax to look over Neela and the baby as a nanny agency. There is an instant connection between Jax and Neela, but she decides to give them the job when she sees Jax in action with the baby, he is like the baby whisperer. Mayzie is adorable and wins Jax in an instant, but he is not only there to protect Mayzie, but also Neela. The attraction is too much for both and even though they want to keep it completely professional, sometime things are not that easy. When a threat is received all lines are blurred and Jax will do anything in his power to protect Mayzie and Neela. Even if he is about to lose everything that he has been working for. With Protecting the heiress we return to the world of the Winston Isles and to all the characters we have come to love. Can’t wait to see what happens in the conclusion of this funny, hot, passionate, exciting, mysterious story.

Protecting the Heiress by Nana Malone is the first book in the brand new Heiress Duet. Since leaving the Royal Guard, Ariel has been putting together her own security firm. First employee - Jax. Previously of the Royal Guard, like herself, she knows that after what he has been through he'd do almost anything to get back into the elite Royal Guard. Including taking on his first job for her company as a manny! Jax knows he is in trouble when he meets the client, or rather the woman (and baby) the client wants him to protect. It only takes one glance at Neela to understand on a visceral level that she could very well be his Kryptonite. Neela wants one thing in life - peace and quiet in which to successfully run her business but with the death of her childhood best friend and the sudden guardianship of said best friends 13 month old daughter thrust upon her she is spinning out of control. Add in the almost kidnapping and the strange threatening letters and she is ever so glad she has such a capable and protective "manny" in the house. That is until she finds out who the manny really is. But let's face it - Jax couldn't keep the secret forever - he only had to keep his hands off the client. #MissionFail. Steamy, hot, well-written and well-paced I am rapidly falling head over heels with this author and am excited for book two, Tempting the Heiress. Enjoy!

5 Stars Review by Sasha Kobylinski Late Night Reviewer Up All Night w/ Books Blog The best word to describe Protecting the Heir by Nana Malone is straight up sexy. Not only is the story intriguing right from the start, but the writing style that the author brings with her own voice. There is such a captivating way to Malone’s writing that it lulls the reader into an ease and desperate need to get more. It truly is a crack-like story. I found myself ripping through the pages not only to find out what was going to happen next but to just keep reading. I was almost more disappointed when I finished the book because I didn’t want the writing to stop. Malone draws in a lot of her previous characters and stories, making them all interconnected, but in a way that doesn’t require the reader to have past knowledge of her work. For the readers that are familiar with this author, it’s a fun little surprise and could make other stories more thought-provoking as well. Jax Reynolds is a trained professional. His job is to protect important people from the worst possible scenarios that might be presented to them. Gunfire, death threats and everything in between was what he was trained for. His next assignment may be the hardest one yet, Manny. Not the job that he would’ve picked if give n the choice but with the baby being a newly orphaned heiress, how can he refuse. Along with her comes her guardian, Neela, who was nowhere near prepared to suddenly become a mother and a mother to a royal child none the less. As reluctant as she was to let Jax into her and the baby’s new life, he stopped the constant crying and Neela was sold. Both are broken characters who have faced their share of hardship and have chosen life paths that few would follow. These two characters develop a chemistry that is found when two lost souls connect. I’m officially hooked and can’t wait to get my hands on the second book. Nana, please for the love of all good things in the world, write as fast as you can. I loved watching the characters’ slip into these paternal/maternal roles when danger struck, but also fear for their partner. The tension created from all the outside forces created the perfect storm. When first presented in the novel, the reader can tell from the beginning that Neela and Jax are going to fit together so perfectly. Which just adds to the stress and anxiety of waiting and watching them do everything wrong until they get together. Throw in an adorable baby Mayzie and this make-shift family will give you the full on, real family feels.
