Seller Description
She’s 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, 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. He’s got her heart. 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 a few years back, in the wake of a family tragedy, he dropped from the public eye and went off the grid. They’ve got a secret. When Jack’s mom gets sick, he goes 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. Even though her ex, 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 it’s easy for Hannah to protect Jack. But protecting her own, long-neglected heart? That’s the hardest thing she’s ever done.

What readers are saying about this book
Summarized by Pango AI
PangoBooks readers generally found this book to be a cute, fun, and lighthearted read with laugh-out-loud moments and engaging banter between the main characters, Hannah and Jack. The "fake dating" trope was well-received, particularly because of the unique twist of having a female bodyguard. While some appreciated the slow-burn romance and character development, a few readers wished for more steam and a deeper emotional connection between the protagonists. There were mixed feelings about the narrative structure and some found the plot rushed or implausible, but overall, the book was considered a delightful rom-com with memorable characters and a feel-good vibe. Many readers expressed interest in reading more books by Katherine Center.
