But Hannah’s boss has no intention of letting her off the hook, so she ends up protecting Jack as he stays with his family on their ranch. Sure, Jack Stapleton is one of the sexiest men alive, but he’s not even sure he needs a bodyguard despite having a very persistent stalker.

So when her boss assigns her to an actor who’s visiting his ailing mother in nearby Katy, Hannah’s not interested. Now she’s stuck at home in Houston, grieving and lonely, wishing for a job that could take her far away. And although Hannah could easily incapacitate or even kill a threat, her job is to “anticipate harm before it ever materializes-and avoid it.” She spends most of her work time traveling the world, which is just how she likes it-that is, until her mother dies, her boss makes her take some time off, and her fellow agent boyfriend dumps her.

Although many people picture bodyguards as big, burly men, Hannah stays undercover and unnoticed as a 5-foot-5 female agent, often blending in as a nanny.

Hannah Brooks is an Executive Protection Agent, better known as a bodyguard. But protecting her own, long-neglected heart? That’s the hardest thing she’s ever done.When a professional bodyguard is assigned to cover a famously reclusive actor, sparks fly. Because it’s easy for Hannah to protect Jack. But the more time she spends with Jack, the more real it all starts to seem. Even though her ex, like a jerk, says no one will believe it. And so Hannah-against her will and her better judgment-finds herself pretending to be Jack’s girlfriend as a cover. Only one catch: He doesn’t want his family to know about his stalker. When Jack’s mom gets sick, he comes home to the family’s Texas ranch to help out. But a few years back, in the wake of a family tragedy, he dropped from the public eye and went off the grid. Jack Stapleton’s a household name-captured by paparazzi on beaches the world over, famous for, among other things, rising out of the waves in all manner of clingy board shorts and glistening like a Roman deity. But the truth is, she’s an Executive Protection Agent (aka 'bodyguard'), and she just got hired to protect superstar actor Jack Stapleton from his middle-aged, corgi-breeding stalker.

Hannah Brooks looks more like a kindgerten teacher than somebody who could kill you with a wine bottle opener.
