Guarding Us: A Grumpy Sunshine Fake Dating Bodyguard Romance

By Cora Brooks

He's a lethal shadow. She's the internet's favorite sunshine. When a stalker targets her, this grumpy bodyguard will break every one of his rules to keep her safe.

Salome Asherdean has spent six years building an empire out of morning routines and oversharing. Two million people love her, but one of them has crossed the line from obsessed fan to dangerous threat.

Enter Wilder-a six-and-a-half-foot wall of a security specialist with a lethal stare and a strict professional code. To the internet, he's her mysterious new boyfriend, a fake-dating ruse designed to scare off the stalker. Behind the reinforced doors of her high-tech apartment, he's the grumpy protector who meal-preps her dinners, enforces her safety rules, and makes her feel completely safe for the very first time.

Wilder has spent his career being an unmovable shield, never crossing the line with a client. But as their forced proximity turns fake touches into very real heat, he realizes that keeping Salome breathing isn't enough. He wants to keep her forever.

Guarding Us is a high-stakes, steamy bodyguard romance featuring a grumpy/sunshine dynamic, fake dating, and a fiercely protective hero who will do anything for his girl.
