Their Guarded Hearts — Michelle Bolanger

Zane has always been different, especially after his years as theater and dance major instilled in him an eclectic sense of style. The girls find his choices endearing, until they discover he wears skirts and makeup even on his days off. Their attempts to change him never end well, and he resigns himself to being a bachelor - until he meets Ivy. After escaping her controlling ex-boyfriend, Ivy picked up the part-time job at a cosmetics store to make ends meet. Her enthusiasm for lip color brings her literally face-to-face with Zane. His quick wit and flirtatious personality gives her fragile confidence the boost it needs. A young adult, urban fantasy with sizzle but no spice.
