The Bodyguard

About the book

"The Bodyguard" by Katherine Center is an absolute gem of a book. It’s as charming and delightful as the best romantic comedies from the nineties, but with a depth that truly tugs at your heartstrings. I wish I could wipe it from my memory just to experience the joy of reading it for the first time again." - Emily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Book Lovers

Meet Hannah Brooks, who may look more like a kindergarten teacher than a lethal force, but she is actually an Executive Protection Agent, hired to protect superstar actor Jack Stapleton from a stalker. Jack is a celebrity known for his beachside escapades and charm, but he has been hiding from the spotlight due to a family tragedy.

When Jack's mother falls ill, he returns to his Texas ranch while keeping his stalker and bodyguard a secret from his family. To maintain this facade, Hannah reluctantly poses as Jack's girlfriend, despite doubts from those around her. As their pretend relationship starts feeling more real, Hannah is faced with the challenge of protecting both Jack and her own neglected heart.
