Books like The Disobedient Virgin by Sandra Marton

Catarina Mendes is a young, affluent woman who has finally gained independence. At twenty‑one, her newfound freedom comes with unexpected responsibilities. The story enters when Jake Ramirez, thirty, becomes her guardian—tasked with shielding her from unscrupulous men and guiding her toward a suitable husband. Jake is captivated by Catarina's beauty, yet a cherished boundary remains: her virginity. Tension mounts as he grapples with his desires versus his protective duty. Set in a contemporary context, the novel explores the dynamics of power, responsibility, and romance as part of the Ramirez Brides Series, with this book being the third installment. The narrative follows Jake as he navigates the dual role of guardian and champion for Catarina's safety and future, while keeping her innocence intact until the right moment presents itself.
