Guarding the Pop Princess: A Grumpy-Sunshine Bodyguard Popstar Romance (Unscripted Hearts)
The world knows Maya Lin as the Pop Princess.
Rory Mercer knows her as a security nightmare.
Maya is the world's biggest pop star-brilliant, rebellious, and desperate for a taste of ordinary life away from the cameras, screaming crowds, and controlling management that treats her like a corporate asset instead of a person.
Rory is the ex-Special Forces operator hired to keep her safe. Stoic, hyper-disciplined, and haunted by a mission that taught him the cost of distraction, he lives by one rule:
Never get emotionally attached to the person you're protecting.
Then Maya escapes her security detail for a late-night cereal run.
Instead of simply dragging her back, Rory makes her a secret deal: follow his security protocols, and he'll personally escort her on the normal adventures fame has stolen from her.
Late-night diners. Arcades. Laundromats. Stolen moments away from the spotlight.
What begins as a tactical compromise soon becomes dangerously personal.
Behind Maya's glittering public persona is a lonely woman fighting to reclaim control of her own life. Behind Rory's body armor is a man slowly realizing that protecting someone doesn't mean keeping them in a cage.
Falling for Maya could destroy Rory's career.
Trusting Rory could cost Maya everything.
And when the forces controlling her threaten to tear them apart, Rory must decide whether following the rules will keep Maya safe-or whether loving her means helping her finally break free.
Guarding the Pop Princess is a steamy contemporary bodyguard romance featuring grumpy sunshine, forced proximity, forbidden attraction, a fiercely protective hero, celebrity romance, slow-burn tension, emotional healing, and a hard-won happily ever after.
