The Homes We Guard: Love, Kept - The Homes We Guard, #1

The Homes We Guard Series

By Brittiany "Mrs. B" Tarver

Some homes are built with love.
Others are built with restraint, silence, and the promises we refuse to break.
The Homes We Guard is a five-book contemporary drama series that explores marriage, temptation, leadership, and identity through the quiet unraveling—and rebuilding—of a woman determined to protect what she's built without losing who she is.
At the center of the series is Reagan Wright—a composed, brilliant leader navigating success, responsibility, and desire while carrying the invisible labor of being everything to everyone. As temptation enters her life and boundaries begin to blur, Reagan must confront the cost of keeping love, the danger of unspoken truth, and the emotional homes we guard to survive.
What begins as restraint becomes reckoning.
What is protected becomes tested.
And what is hidden must eventually come into the light.
