The Bodyguard [Audiobook]

Description

Authors note read by the author. New York Times bestselling author Katherine Centers The Bodyguard is unabashedly romantic, laugh-out-loud funny, and the perfect summer read. Great rollicking fun! Prepare to laugh and swoon and grin your pants off.--Helen Hoang, New York Times bestselling author of The Heart Principle Shes got his back. 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, shes an Executive Protection Agent (aka bodyguard), and she just got hired to protect superstar actor Jack Stapleton from his middle-aged, corgi-breeding stalker. Hes got her heart. Jack Stapletons 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 a few years back, in the wake of a family tragedy, he dropped from the public eye and went off the grid. Theyve got a secret. When Jacks mom gets sick, he comes home to the familys Texas ranch to help out. Only one catch: He doesnt 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 Jacks girlfriend as a cover. Even though her ex, like a jerk, says no one will believe it. What could possibly go wrong Hannah hardly believes it, herself. But the more time she spends with Jack, the more real it all starts to seem. And there lies the heartbreak. Because its easy for Hannah to protect Jack. But protecting her own, long-neglected heart? Thats the hardest thing shes ever done. More Praise for The Bodyguard: My perfect 10 of a book. As funny and sweet as all the very best nineties rom-coms, but with Centers signature heart-tugging depth. I wish I could erase it from my mind just to read it again for the first time. A shot of pure joy.--Emily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Book Lovers The Bodyguard is absolutely, unequivocally delightful!--Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Wish You Were Here A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martins Press.
