A shot of pure joy.” -Emily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Book Lovers I wish I could erase it from my mind just to read it again for the first time. As funny and sweet as all the very best nineties rom-coms, but with Center’s signature heart-tugging depth. “Center’s confection satisfies on its own terms.” - Publishers Weekly On the surface, it’s a light-hearted romance, but it packs a bit of an emotional punch (along with some actual punches!).” - Country Living “This fun new novel by Katherine Center feels like a summertime blockbuster. Center delivers another satisfying, romantic read with a swoonworthy hero and a delightful main character.” - Kirkus Reviews Hannah is an endearing and vulnerable lead underneath her serious, tough-girl exterior. “Center brings her signature warmth and wit to this movie-ready premise, blending a heartwarming romance with quirky side characters and even a little bit of action. It’s not only a must-read for her fans, but it will likely garner her new devotees as well.” - Booklist (starred review)
“Utterly charming… Center’s latest might be her most winning yet. “With speedy pacing and sexual tension for miles, this tale packs a punch.” - People The characters are vivid, the plot is compelling, and she balances grief, heartache, hope, and romance in a tender, believable way.” - Buzzfeed Read more Praise“Center’s laugh-out-loud rom-com is a perfect summer read. But protecting her own, long-neglected heart? That’s the hardest thing she’s ever done. Because it’s easy for Hannah to protect Jack. But the more time she spends with Jack, the more real it all starts to seem. Even though her ex, like a jerk, says no one will believe it. And so Hannah-against her will and her better judgment-finds herself pretending to be Jack’s girlfriend as a cover. Only one catch: He doesn’t want his family to know about his stalker. When Jack’s mom gets sick, he comes home to the family’s Texas ranch to help out. But a few years back, in the wake of a family tragedy, he dropped from the public eye and went off the grid.
Jack Stapleton’s a household name-captured by paparazzi on beaches the world over, famous for, among other things, rising out of the waves in all manner of clingy board shorts and glistening like a Roman deity. But the truth is, she’s an Executive Protection Agent (aka “bodyguard”), and she just got hired to protect superstar actor Jack Stapleton from his middle-aged, corgi-breeding stalker. Hannah Brooks looks more like a kindergarten teacher than somebody who could kill you with a wine bottle opener.
