A Family of His Own (Stories Of Us Book 3) Kindle Edition
XAVIER
Former Navy SEAL Xavier Thierry knows he is good at his job… protect the client. You do the job but never get too close—that’s his motto.
When the friend he owes for saving his life asks for a favor, he doesn’t hesitate to say yes, no questions asked. But babysitting some pampered brat is nowhere on his to-do list.
Until he first lays eyes on him… Cris. And he’s nothing like Xav expected.
He wasn’t sure when this man stopped being a job, but the rules blur once Cris ends up in his arms. How can Xavier let him go when he’s the only one who chases away the darkness?
CRIS
Cris Whitcomb thought he finally found his happily ever after… But the fairytale soon became a nightmare, one that left him with only one choice—to push away those he loves to protect them.
His chosen family refuses to be pushed away. Their solution, call in someone trusted to watch over and protect him… Xavier.
But what happens when your future walks in on the worst day of your life?
Maybe sometimes you have to go through the bad to get the best...
One who knows the pain of loneliness, another haunted by memories he can’t run away from... Maybe they are exactly what each other needs…
TRIGGER WARNING: This book contains scenes of domestic violence in flashbacks.

About the author

Rheland is the ultimate bookworm, TV enthusiast, popcorn and ice cream connoisseur (Sweet and Salt is the best), and lover of all things cute and girly! From a young age, Rheland has been entranced by the magic of storytelling, diving headfirst into worlds of romance (before she was allowed to), and mysteries.
When she's not reading the latest romance novel or binge-watching her favorite TV shows (no horror, please!), you can find her writing stories of found families and forevers for her men.
Rheland is a hopeless romantic through and through with dreams of happily ever afters and swoon-worthy moments.
Rheland invites you to join her on a journey of laughter, love, and happily ever afters for her characters. So cozy up with a mug of cocoa or a glass of wine and prepare to fall head over heels for Rheland's men.
Rheland would love to hear from her readers and learn more about you. So if you get a chance... please get in touch.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2024Love me a good bodyguard romance!! This one was fantastic!! Love the series and can’t wait for Lain’s story!! Hopefully it will be soon!!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2021Loved Cris and Xavier and of course baby Nash. Always love seeing all the extra family members. Looking forward to Lain’s story and seeing who he falls for. Signed up for the Newsletter but didn’t get the bonus scene.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2022I love this series and I truly enjoyed Chris and Xavier's story. My heart broke for Chris at the abuse he suffered at the hands of his ex-boyfriend. Thankfully, Xavier was exactly who he needed- someone to make him feel safe and cherished. This book was an excellent addition to the series. I can't wait to read Lain's story.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2020The story of Cris was a nice story, full of plots and sub plots. The side characters are there for their own love story to be told. Nice. I enjoyed it. Now, up to Lain’s love story.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2019As we make our way through the series, I continue to NOT be disappointed. Of course, we also keep being introduced to new characters whose stories I need to read as well. Xavier and Chris together were awesome...so sweet and sexy together. I am so glad, it was not overly angsty (the worst thing ever) and they that we're able to be together without all the overthinking that usually plagues the "I fell in love with my bodyguard" troupe. Highly recommend this series!! I am looking forward to books featuring Lain and Adam
- Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2019I'm really enjoying this series. And I just love Xavier and Cris. The end of this book was a bit rushed but it was still enjoyable.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2019While I was living reading about Xavier and Cris' heart warming love story some events that happened snuck up on me causing tears to come unexpectedly. I truly enjoy this series and can not wait to read about Lain. As always Rheland Richmond captured me from the beginning until the last word.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2019This entire series I have purchased. Cris has had a special place in my heart since the first book in the series. Xavier is a wonderful addition for Cris. I am hoping these guys get another book, I can't get enough of them.

4.0 out of 5 stars The story I've been waiting for
I've been waiting for this story since book 1. I knew Cris was going through something but holy cow to know what he was going through since book 1 is just beyond what I had imagined. I think Rheland did a great job with this story considering the subject matter of abuse.
- PattiReviewed in Australia on January 17, 2020
5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome
Oh my! An abusive, controlling partner, tearing Cris away from his made family... Until his friend Lain found him almost beaten to death. In steps Xavier a friend of a friend... An ex Navy Seal, now a bodyguard. The attraction is instant and Xavier tries to keep it professional...
Angsty, emotional, hopeful, love... all the emotions.. loved it ! Was great seeing past characters. Great series.. looking forward to more...
