The Bodyguard Affair

Brought to you by Penguin.

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 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 becomes a bestseller, rumours 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 and Andi’s failed one-night stand from three years ago. Nolan might be in town to look after his mother, but when the scandal erupts, Andi enlists him to help take care of her own dilemma.

To save their bosses’ reputations they’ll pretend to date for the summer. But as sparks fly, can they keep their romance strictly fictional?
