My Bodyguard Neighbor

She thinks he's just the mysterious man next door. He's being paid to keep her alive. Holly Reese chose paint-stained chaos over courtroom order for a reason. As the estranged daughter of a federal judge, she's built a life as far from her father's world as possible—selling her art, living independently, and trusting no one to fight her battles. Jonah Bauer has one job: protect the judge's daughter without her knowing. Moving in next door was supposed to be simple surveillance. But Holly's fierce independence and late-night painting sessions are making his assignment anything but easy. Worse, the stubborn artist is getting under his skin in ways that have nothing to do with professional duty. When the threats against Holly escalate from menacing notes to real danger, Jonah's careful control starts unraveling. She's suspicious of her devastatingly attractive neighbor who always appears when she needs him most. He's fighting a losing battle against the need to possess what he's sworn to protect—consequences be damned. The tension between them burns hotter with every stolen glance, every accidental touch. Holly's drawn to the dangerous intensity in Jonah's eyes, while he's intoxicated by her wild, untamed spirit. But when passion finally explodes between them, will the truth destroy everything? Holly built her life on freedom and honesty. When she discovers the man igniting her deepest desires has been deceiving her from the start, the betrayal cuts deeper than any threat. And when her father's enemies close in for the kill, Jonah must choose: follow orders or follow his heart into a love worth dying for. A scorching enemies-to-lovers romance where the biggest danger isn't the stalker—it's falling for the man hired to watch her every move.
