For America's hottest starlet, faking an off-screen romance with her co-star should be simple. Thanks to her hot bodyguard, it's anything but...

My newest role was simple: convince the world I'm in love with my co-star, Ryan McDonnell.

But faking it isn't so easy when my rugged new bodyguard moves in.

Jace Morgan is nothing like a movie star. He's a rough around the edges Marine from the wrong side of the tracks, and one hundred percent, exactly my type.

Jace is here to protect me, not love me. But he's always here, when I need him, and when I'm trying very hard not to need anyone. And his troubled gaze combined with muscles literally everywhere? It's a lot to resist. And as our relationship begins to morph into something much more than client/bodyguard, I'm having trouble keeping up the act. And even more trouble keeping my hands off him.

But the two of us together? Could cost us both our jobs.

And when my bodyguard and my fake boyfriend come along to Maryland for a family event? Lines get crossed, and I'm not talking about the Mason-Dixon.
