Hired to Pretend — Bodyguards, Escorts & the Professionals Who Fall for the Client (2026)
There’s a whole corner of romance built on the same delicious lie: I’m only doing this because it’s my job. The bodyguard paid to watch her. The escort hired to play the boyfriend. The professional who’s supposed to keep it clean — and doesn’t. Here are four, across MM and FF, led by two brand-new drops. All at inferno heat, and each book page has a free first chapter.
Under Her Protection — Blair Lennox (FF, Bodyguard) · Just Dropped
Camille Laurent has spent her career being watched — by critics, by cameras, by fans who think a beautiful woman on a screen belongs a little bit to everyone. When threatening messages escalate into a breach at her home, the studio assigns her a bodyguard. The bodyguard is paid to watch her. Neither of them expected the real threat to be the woman who makes safety feel like surrender. Celebrity × bodyguard, fake dating, ice queen, romantic suspense, forbidden, coming out. Fresh off the press, free with Kindle Unlimited. First chapter free →
The Wedding Date Clause — Jace Wilder (MM, Escort) · Just Dropped
Adrian Vale has spent his career proving that love is a contract people eventually break — Manhattan’s most feared divorce attorney does not do sentiment. So when his sister’s destination wedding threatens four solid days of family interrogation about his empty love life, he does what he does best: he finds a polished, discreet, utterly temporary solution. Luca Reyes is supposed to be exactly that. Fake dating, escort/client, destination wedding, only one bed, enemies-to-lovers, class difference, praise kink, hurt/comfort. Just dropped, at all major retailers. First chapter free →
Her Bodyguard’s Rules — Isla Wilde (FF, Bodyguard)
“I don’t perform for anyone. That’s my whole brand.” So when they hire a bodyguard who looks at her like she’s a job instead of a face, she wants nothing more than to make the woman break. Her bodyguard has exactly one rule: don’t. Bodyguard/protector, forced proximity, only one bed, age gap, no-fraternization, praise kink, D/s dynamic, stalker suspense. Free with Kindle Unlimited. First chapter free →
Runaway Groom, Rental Husband — Jace Wilder (MM, Escort)
Liam Reyes is fifteen minutes from walking down the aisle when he overhears his future father-in-law explaining, on the phone, exactly how manageable he’ll be once the marriage locks him in place. He bolts — through the service exit, in the rain, in a twelve-thousand-dollar tuxedo. Alex Morgan is the man he hires to pretend to be his husband for the fallout. He fell for the man underneath the contract. Runaway groom, escort/client, fake dating, bi-awakening, contract romance, practice-turns-real, praise kink. Available at all major retailers.
