Bedding the Bodyguard

Celebrity Client. Forbidden Protector. Forced Proximity.

He can guard her life but proving he wants her heart is the real fight.

Hollywood actress Kat Bailey has everything—fame, success, and an Oscar buzz that won’t quit. What she doesn’t have is peace. After a nude photo scandal, disturbing threats from a fan of her cheating ex, and a near-accident that may not have been accidental, Kat retreats to a quiet cabin in Lake Tahoe to rethink her life and consider what normal might look like.

Bodyguard Luke Indigo knows better than to mix business with desire. When he’s asked to protect Kat, his intense attraction makes him hesitate—until he learns she’s gone into hiding without security. Duty wins. Luke follows her to Tahoe, posing as a vacationing neighbor so he can keep her safe without blowing her cover.

As they spend time together, Kat is drawn to Luke’s quiet strength. Even better, he seems blissfully unaware of her celebrity status, making her feel wanted for who she is, not what she represents.

But when Kat discovers Luke is the very bodyguard her manager tried to hire, doubt creeps in. Was he protecting her out of genuine concern or ambition?

Now Luke must prove that keeping Kat safe was never just a job—and that what he wants from her has nothing to do with fame, and everything to do with love.

A sexy contemporary romance about celebrity, trust, and falling for the one man who sees past the spotlight.
