Loving Her Texas Protector
by Mary Connealy

Series background & context
Garrison’s Law is Connealy’s foray into contemporary romantic suspense, centered on a Texas family where nearly everyone wears a badge or carries one in their blood. The Garrison siblings are used to chasing down criminals; they’re less prepared for how often that work collides with romance.
In Loving the Texas Lawman, skeptical cop Ben Garrison ends up guarding Trudy Jennings, a psychology professor whose popular “solve it with love” message seems hopelessly naive to him—until a stalker fixates on her. Keeping her alive forces Ben to reckon with both his cynicism and the way Trudy quietly refuses to give up on anyone, including him.
Loving Her Texas Protector pairs tough security specialist Jacie Moreau with Brett Garrison, a veterinarian in a family of lawmen. Jacie lands on a professional hit list, and Brett’s instinct to shelter injured creatures expands to include a fiercely independent woman who doesn’t think she needs anyone. Their flight from a relentless assassin gives them little space to decide what their partnership should look like once the danger ends.
In Loving the Texas Negotiator, another Garrison brother uses his calm voice and tactical training to defuse hostage situations—until a case hits close to home and a whip-smart woman complicates every call he makes. Loving the Texas Stranger and Loving the Mysterious Texan continue the pattern with new siblings and new threats, always circling the idea that courage, faith, and commitment still matter in a world full of loopholes and plea deals.
Instead of cattle rustlers and stagecoach robbers you’ll find hackers, stalkers, hired killers, and wealthy villains who know how to work the system. But the bones of the stories—found family, self-sacrifice, and a stubborn belief in justice—feel very much like Connealy’s historical work, just with cell phones and cruisers replacing horses.
