Publisher's summary

David Xavier - and all those he loved or counted as friends - would forever be mouth-watering targets to men of evil intent. His wealth could settle a small country's foreign debt. Because of this, from the moment of his birth, his mother obscured his identity. Reborn as the man named Gabriel, however, he walked free into a world where the innocents and the weak cried out for a defender, for the hand of justice, for a guardian angel.

In response, an elite, paramilitary operation, Guardian, rose to stand between the evil men did and those whom they would make their victims. Gabriel was CEO. His goal was worthy and all consuming, but fighting on the side of angels didn’t make his nights less lonely or soothe the ache in his heart for hearth, home, and family.

He needed a courageous woman of unflinching integrity, of goodness and honor, to stand at his side. He’d given up hope of finding such a person. He thought he'd found her years ago. The sex had been combustible, but they’d met at the very birth of Guardian, when he hadn’t time for a personal life. Chalk it up to fate or bad timing.

Over the years, 28-year-old, Denver ER nurse, Anna Harriger, watched as all her friends, many of whom were former patients, found their soul mates, got married, and had children. Shoot, she’d been a bridesmaid six times. She figured she was destined to be the “crazy friend” that everyone liked but who, at the end of the day, went home to a solitary apartment. She wanted love. She wanted a family, but she refused to compromise her standards. She’d met her Prince Charming, but unlike the fairytale, after an incendiary night of sex, she’d never seen him again. Chalk it up to fate or bad timing.

When events throw them together again, each find their attraction vastly more than simply physical, but once again, Gabriel’s responsibilities pull them apart. After an absence of almost half a year, Gabriel returns for Anna, but she has vanished.

Kris Michaels - Guardian Series

Kris Michaels Guardian Series are AMAZING! Every book is great keeping the story connected and players are real.
Reads to keep you unable to stop at every turn. Start at the the first book and don't stop.

GREAT, Kris Michaels did the reach on how the real Guardians would react to each enter action.

Gabriel is a extraordinary story.

Gabriel was an exceptional story with superb narration by Matt Haynes. This is one of those books that I would repeatedly reread and would try another Kris Michaels book.

How it all began

I really enjoyed the back story on Gabriel and Anna. my first exposure to Kris Michaels books were the Kings of Guardian series. I can't wait to read the other books!!!

Gabriel is the legend behind Guardian Security

Gabriel is the first in the Guardian Defenders series. I’ve read many of Kris’ books and Gabriel did not disappoint! I’ve always been intrigued by the man behind the legend of Guardian Security. He’s always been a mysterious character. Now, I feel like I know him and Anna much better. Although, I’m sure there’s always more to know about the illusive David Xavier.

If Gabriel is at the heart of Guardian Security, then Anna is its soul. Because without Anna, I don’t believe that Gabriel would be the man he is today. There were multiple twists, surprises, and the intensity kept me going. This is a story about love, dedication, trust, and loss.

I love the Kings of Guardian; and now, the Guardian Defenders have captured my heart.
