Hannah Brooks might look like your friendly neighborhood elementary school teacher, but she's actually a top-tier bodyguard. Her latest assignment is protecting Hollywood heartthrob Jack Stapleton. Things get complicated when Jack needs to visit his family in a small Texas town and wants to keep his stalker — and his bodyguard — a secret. Enter the fake relationship trope! Hannah has to pretend to be his girlfriend, leading to a charming, laugh-out-loud situation. The book is a delightful dance of witty banter, unexpected tenderness, and the slow burn of two people realizing their pretend feelings might just be real. It’s a wonderfully feel-good read, perfect if you love a lighthearted romantic comedy with a protective hero (who sometimes needs protecting himself!) and a truly satisfying fake-dating premise.
