Perfect for you if...

  • You love rom-coms with genuine emotional stakes, where the banter and chemistry feel earned rather than obligatory.
  • You're drawn to protagonists who are competent and complex, not just waiting around for someone else to save them.
  • You want a story that makes you laugh and believe in love without feeling saccharine or predictable.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer darker, grittier romance with morally grey characters or complex power dynamics.
  • You're sceptical of the fake dating trope and need more than chemistry to suspend disbelief.
  • You find heartwarming family dynamics and small-town Texas settings exhausting rather than comforting.

About this book

Hannah Brooks is an Executive Protection Agent hired to protect superstar actor Jack Stapleton from his stalker. Despite her unassuming appearance, she is trained in security and self-defense. Jack is a famous actor who withdrew from public life years ago following a family tragedy. When Jack's mother becomes ill, he returns to his family's Texas ranch. To keep his stalker and bodyguard situation secret from his family, Hannah agrees to pose as his girlfriend. Her ex doubts anyone will believe the cover story. As Hannah and Jack spend time together, the pretense begins to feel genuine. Hannah finds herself drawn to Jack while struggling to protect her own heart. She must balance her professional duty to keep Jack safe with the emotional complications of their fake relationship.
