Julian. The Stanton Pack, #3

Julian Stanton was eating breakfast and rethinking his life as a PI when a stranger walked into the diner looking for Tess O'Rourke. Julian felt the hackles rise on his neck. He wanted to take his gun out and blow this guy's head off for no apparent reason other than he didn't like him. He'd never had an instant dislike for a person before. He didn't know who Tess was, but he was going to make sure this stranger didn't find her.
Tess was at her wits end. Dexter had once been her best friend, now she couldn't get far enough away from him. He was everywhere, attacking her at every corner, emptying her bank account, and now he was after her baby daughter, Ruby. Only the Lord knew what he'd do to the baby if he got his hands on her. Sent by his parents to help, Julian was to be Tess's escort to the family home for dinner. The hotel was no longer safe since Dexter had found her there too.
When she opened the door, she shoved the most precious squalling baby girl into his arms that Julian had ever seen. And when the woman walked by him, her scent hit him like a brick. The job went from a favor to personal in the blink of an eye, and Julian would protect the girls in his life with his own if necessary.
