Synopsis

She safeguarded her heart for a reason…
Serafina Evans built her company the way she built everything else: carefully, from the ground up, with nothing left to chance. Forty-three employees. A niche no one else in Seattle thought to carve. And a heart she's kept locked away since she was nineteen.
Then Buone Case signs on as a client, and Alessandro Giordano walks into her conference room.
He's Italian, immovable, and knows exactly how handsome he is. He fights her on every detail of a project she understands better than he does, and he never once looks away when she's speaking. After weeks of it, Sera does something she hasn't done in her adult life. She lets her guard down.
Alessandro has a wife. Who lives less than twenty minutes away.
By the time Sera learns that, she's already in love with him.
And while her personal life comes apart, someone is quietly dismantling her company from the inside. A theft becomes a tampered report. A tampered report becomes a lost client, then spyware on her network. And then something far worse than sabotage.
Sera has spent ten years proving she doesn't need anyone. She's about to find out what that cost her.
The Safeguarded Heart is the beginning of Sera’s story, which continues in All of Me.

Goodreads review by Michelle on September 02, 2018

I have a confession. I don’t usually read erotica/steamy romance novels. It’s not that I don’t read romance. I actually enjoy romance novels, especially romantic comedies. I just found, novels heavy on the steam are often light on the plot and I usually get bored. So, when I started reading The Safeg......more

Goodreads review by Jacqueline on December 14, 2018

A tantalizing mix of mystery and romance. The Safeguarded Heart was a fast-paced, intriguing read, with lots of steamy love scenes. The chemistry between the two main characters was superbly written. Even while in the midst of emotional turmoil and questions about Alessandro's true intentions, I sti......more

Goodreads review by Eric on April 18, 2020

Melanie Smith's debut novel was nothing short of captivating. The plots surrounding Sera's relationships (those with Alessandro, her mom, Bryce, and her co-workers especially) are well developed and helps her own overall character development. The conflict surrounding her company and the sabotage fr......more
