The Bodyguard Affair

A secret romance writer discovers that the hottest story of summer might just be the one happening between her and the Prime Minister's bodyguard, from the international bestselling author of Set On You.

Andi Zeigler lives a double life. By day, she's the no-nonsense, steadfast personal assistant to the Prime Minister of Canada's wife. By night, she slips out of her heels and writes romance novels under a top-secret pen name. But when her steamiest book, The Prime Minister & Me, unexpectedly becomes a bestseller, rumors of a real-life affair between her and the PM start swirling out of control.

Enter Nolan Crosby, the PM's new close protection officer (aka bodyguard) - and Andi's failed one-night stand from three years ago. Nolan's in town very temporarily to care for his mother, who's battling early-onset Alzheimer's. But when the scandal erupts, Andi ropes him into a fake-dating plan.

As loyal employees, they'll pretend to date for the summer, just long enough to put the scandal to bed and save their boss's reputation. In an unexpected plot twist, Andi and Nolan discover that keeping their romance strictly fictional might be easier said than done.
