THE BODYGUARD

She''s got his back. He''s got her heart. They''ve got a secret. What could possibly go wrong? ''My perfect 10 of a book ... A shot of pure joy.'' EMILY HENRY ''The Bodyguard is pure, unvarnished delight.'' CHRISTINA LAUREN Hannah Brooks looks more like a kindergarten teacher than somebody who could kill you with her bare hands. But the truth is, she''s an Executive Protection Agent and she''s just been hired to protect a superstar actor from his stalker. Jack Stapleton''s a Hollywood heartthrob - captured by paparazzi on beaches the world over, rising out of the waves in clingy board shorts and glistening like a Roman deity. When Jack''s mom gets sick, he comes home to the family''s Texas ranch to help out. Only one catch: He doesn''t want his family to know about his stalker. Or the bodyguard thing. And so Hannah - against her will and her better judgment - finds herself pretending to be Jack''s girlfriend as a cover. Hannah knows how to protect Jack. But protecting her own heart? That''s the hardest thing she''s ever done... Romantic, hilarious, and with a kickass protagonist, THE BODYGUARD is the fake-dating romcom that will steal your heart in 2023! ''Great rollicking fun! Prepare to laugh and swoon and grin your pants off.'' HELEN HOANG ''Absolutely, unequivocally delightful!'' JODI PICOULT
