' The Bodyguard is absolutely, unequivocally delightful!'-Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Wish You Were HereĪ Macmillan Audio production from St.

A shot of pure joy.'-Emily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Book Lovers Set in Houston and on a Texas ranch, this is a heartfelt romance in an unlikely setting with a surprising twist near the end. I wish I could erase it from my mind just to read it again for the first time. The Bodyguard is a forced proximity romance between an unlikely pair a movie star and his female bodyguard, who he initially mistakes for a house cleaner. As funny and sweet as all the very best nineties rom-coms, but with Center's signature heart-tugging depth. 'Great rollicking fun! Prepare to laugh and swoon and grin your pants off.'-Helen Hoang, New York Times bestselling author of The Heart Principle 'Patti Murin gives a terrific performance of this heartwarming contemporary romance.' - AudioFile Magazine But protecting her own, long-neglected heart? That's the hardest thing she's ever done. 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 kindergarten teacher than somebody who could kill you with a wine bottle opener. New York Times bestselling author Katherine Center's The Bodyguard is unabashedly romantic, laugh-out-loud funny, and the perfect summer read.
