The FAQ

What is the premise of Protective Instinct? The Romantic Suspense story follows the "Found Family" within a high-stakes security and tactical world. It centers on characters who are "imperfect" but find strength and value through their commitment to protecting others and themselves.
-
What is the "LC Giroux Experience" in this series? Like her other works, this series highlights that having weaknesses or a difficult past makes a person human, not unlovable. It focuses on character growth and the emotional "safety" of the central relationship.
-
Is this part of the Fated Mates world? No. This is a grounded, contemporary Romantic Suspense series that leans into "Protective" roots—showing the grit of modern security work and federal-level stakes without the paranormal elements.
-
Who are the central characters? While the story follows a high-stakes plot, it is driven by an "imperfect" hero and heroine who must learn to trust each other's instincts as much as their tactical training.
