The Bodyguard
by Center, Katherine
Hannah Brooks is a professional bodyguard who is rarely noticed in a room, which is exactly how she likes it. When she is hired to protect a superstar actor who is dealing with a stalker, the assignment comes with a catch: he needs to hide the situation from his family, so Hannah has to pose as his girlfriend. This is a masterclass in the fake dating trope, but it lands because of the role reversal. Hannah is the tough, capable protector while the guy is the one in need of shielding. The tone is breezy and laugh-out-loud funny, yet it carries a surprising amount of heart as both characters deal with their own hidden vulnerabilities. If you want a romance that feels like a warm hug but keeps you turning pages with sharp, witty dialogue, this is your next weekend read.
