The Bodyguard by Katherine Center

Title: The Bodyguard
Author: Katherine Center
Genre: Romance

Hannah Brooks is very career oriented. When her boyfriend breaks up with her days after her mom dies, and she gets taken off an important job, she is willing to do just about anything to show her boss how ready she is to be back being an Executive Protection Agent. Anything except pretend to be the girlfriend of A-list actor Jack Stapleton while he visits his family in Texas.

Of course, no one will believe that Hannah is his girlfriend when he is linked to women like Kennedy Monroe, his perfect, beautiful costar. In fact, even Jack thinks she is the cleaning lady at first. Over time, the line between pretend and real starts to blur. There is no way Jack could feel anything for her. It’s all acting, right?

Light and breezy, The Bodyguard by Katherine Center belongs in beach bags and travel totes as a fun summer read.
