The Bodyguard by Katherine Center

The Bodyguard by Katherine Center

Hannah Brooks looks more like a kindergarten teacher than somebody who could kill you with a wine bottle opener. Or a ballpoint pen. Or a dinner napkin. 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. 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.

With her tattered shoes and bargain-bin clothes, her life has never been full of glamour. So when a rich and charismatic man takes interest, she doesn’t fool herself into thinking their encounter is anything more than a one-night stand.

My Husband, My Stalker by Jessa Kane

My Husband, My Stalker by Jessa Kane

I saw her on the news one night and everything changed. Including me. She wants normal? I’ll give her that, even if I have to pretend. I’ll become the paper-pushing insurance salesman next door and earn her trust. Make her my wife. She’ll never find out she’s married to a hitman. She’ll never know I spend my days following her. Watching and listening. Obsessing over her happiness to the point of madness. She’ll never find out. Or will she?
