About the Book

Selena is living every girl’s dream—kind of. She’s assigned to protect the ridiculously charming and completely off-limits Prince Lukas. As a highly trained young bodyguard, she’s not supposed to let emotions get in the way of her job, but let’s be real—guarding a handsome, cocky prince is easier said than done.

While Selena struggles to keep her feelings in check, there are much bigger problems at play. Danger lurks around every corner, and as threats against the prince escalate, she’ll have to decide between following her duty or following her heart.

With plenty of action, romance, and just the right amount of sass, The Bodyguard is a fun, fast-paced read for anyone who loves strong female leads and a little forbidden love.
