He's the line between her and the crosshairs. She's the temptation that makes him want to break every rule.

When a blood-marked threat lands in pop icon Everly Marlowe's dressing room, her world shrinks to armored SUVs and locked hotel floors. Enter Ronan Steele—ex–Special Forces, zero chit-chat, all control. His mission: keep the most photographed woman in L.A. alive.

But Everly doesn't do silent obedience. She pushes, flirts, tests the perimeter—and discovers the danger isn't only outside the glass walls. Anonymous letters escalate. A leak inside her circle tightens the noose. Paparazzi swarm, a live interview turns into a public ambush, and a concert night teeters on the edge of disaster. Through it all, Ronan is everywhere: shadow, shield... and the one man who refuses to touch her.

Forced into safehouses and shared doors, desire coils with dread until one stolen kiss blows apart the distance he swore to keep. Now trust is the only thing between Everly and the hunter who already knows her schedule by the second—and the only thing between Ronan and the past that taught him love costs lives.

High stakes, slow burn, deliciously protective—TEASING THE BODYGUARD is a glamour-meets-danger romance where the bodyguard falls first, the star fights hardest, and the line between duty and desire doesn't stand a chance.
