Under Galahad’s Protection
Round Table Security, Book 1
A grumpy-sunshine military romantic suspense where a battle-scarred operative on a routine escort job realizes the warm-hearted barista he’s guarding is the one person who can dismantle every wall he’s built.
When a century-old family secret draws deadly attention, a simple assignment becomes a forced-proximity race across Europe, backed by a band of brothers and complicated by a slow-burn attraction neither of them planned for.
Coming in June!
They call me Galahad, the purest knight at Arthur's table. It's a callsign, nothing more—I had blood on my hands before I wore the uniform. So when a woman with a target on her back walks into my life, I do what I'm built for. I protect her.
Grace Laurent runs a small-town coffee shop where everyone leaves a little lighter. She's bright, she's open, and she has no idea what she's in for. Escorting her to London to authenticate a family heirloom is just a job for me. An easy one.
Until dangerous men discover what she's carrying: one of the lost Imperial Fabergé eggs, worth tens of millions.
My job becomes moving her. London. Paris. Prague. Keep her breathing while we outrun the men chasing her.
But Grace is more focused on me than her own safety. She calls me on my scowl, makes me laugh for the first time in years, and her green eyes keep finding mine like they already know all my secrets.
If I stay close enough to keep her alive, she'll undo every rule I live by—no emotions, no connections, no exceptions. But if I pull away for a second, I'll lose her to people who'll kill for the egg.

About Round Table Security
Romantic suspense with unambiguously good heroes — principled, protective, broody but rooted in real virtue — who stand against real-world darkness without becoming part of it. Not antiheroes, not toxic alphas. Modern military operators framed as Arthurian knights: tactical gear instead of armor, drawing on the once-and-future king's promise to return when the world needs him. Romance is earned through standing in the light, not pulled into shadow.
The series is planned for seven books — one prequel novella and six main installments. Each is a different couple in the same world, written as a standalone with a guaranteed HEA.
