What to expect

'My perfect ten of a book.' EMILY HENRY
*The instant New York Times bestseller!*



She's got his back. He's got her heart. They've got a secret. What could possibly go wrong?



Hannah Brooks looks more like a kindergarten teacher than somebody who could kill you with her bare hands. But the truth is, she's an elite bodyguard and she's just been hired to protect a superstar actor from his stalker.

Jack Stapleton's a Hollywood heartthrob - captured by paparazzi on beaches the world over, rising out of the waves in clingy board shorts and glistening like a Roman deity.

When Jack's mom gets sick, he comes home to the family's Texas ranch to help out. Only one catch: He doesn't want his family to know about his stalker. Or the bodyguard thing. And so Hannah - against her will and her better judgment - finds herself pretending to be Jack's girlfriend as a cover.

Protecting Jack should be easy. But protecting her own heart? That's the hardest thing she's ever done...

Critics Review

  • My perfect 10 of a book. As funny and sweet as all the very best nineties rom-coms, but with Center’s signature heart-tugging depth. I wish I could erase it from my mind just to read it again for the first time. A shot of pure joy.

    EMILY HENRY

  • Great rollicking fun! Prepare to laugh and swoon and grin your pants off … A perfect feel-good romcom.

    HELEN HOANG

  • Absolutely, unequivocally delightful!

    JODI PICOULT

  • A badass female bodyguard main character, a swoony actor love interest, and the most perfect small-town setting. I fell in love with this book, and I have a feeling you will too.

    BUZZFEED

  • Petite and unsuspecting-but totally deadly-Hannah Brooks is hired as a bodyguard to protect actor-heartthrob Jack Stapleton. Throw in a fake-dating trope, and you’ve got yourself the makings of a classic feel-good rom-com. But it’s the witty banter and Hannah’s truly impressive set of skills that make this one stand out from the rest. If you’re a fan of swoony romance à la Colleen Hoover, pick up this title.

    READER'S DIGEST *EDITOR'S PICK*

  • The novel follows a woman hired to protect an A-list actor from a stalker … swoony and hilarious … The Bodyguard caused belly laughs. (Funniest Romance Novels of the Year)
