The Bodyguard
Executive protection agent Hannah Brooks is assigned to guard movie star Jack Stapleton after a stalker creates a credible threat. To keep Jack's ill mother from worrying, Hannah must pose as his girlfriend while staying with his family at their Texas ranch. The arrangement complicates her professional instincts as staged affection, family warmth, and genuine attraction begin to overlap. Playful and heartfelt, this contemporary romance delivers forced proximity, a capable heroine, celebrity complications, and a comforting escape for readers who want danger kept lighter than the love story.
