He's tasked with protecting a celebrity's daughter, but with a stalker on the loose and a young woman bent on pretending she's not famous, his job is nearly impossible.

This job was supposed to be easy. Babysit Indigo Shaw while she attends her first semester of college. How hard can that be?

Sure, I'm not officially certified, and I lied to get the job, but that shouldn't make a difference. I've spent most of my life looking out for my twin brother—I'm pretty well trained.

But no one warned me about how stubbornly independent Indigo can be. All she wants to do is move to this little college town and pretend to be "normal" like everybody else. She's even making me fake a relationship so no-one will suspect I'm her bodyguard.

The problem is... she can never be "normal" because she's a freaking standout. With those beautiful eyes and her rare smiles, it's impossible not to watch her every move.

And I'm starting to worry that I'm not the only one who's doing that.

My grandpa always told us to protect the ones we love, but he never taught me how to protect someone I'm falling in love with. It's weird how the stakes suddenly seem a million times higher.

The Protector is the third standalone book in a thrilling NA romance series. If you like protective guys, heart-pounding tension and a simmering fake-dating romance, then you'll love Jordan Ford's gripping novel.
