She's got his back, he steals her heart

Hannah Brooks looks rather inconspicuous and not like someone who could knock you out easily, but her job is to protect superstar actor Jack Stapleton from his stalker.

Everyone knows Jack Stapleton. But a few years ago, he withdrew from the public eye and disappeared from the scene. When Jack's mother becomes ill, he returns to the family ranch in Texas to help her. There's just one catch: He doesn't want his family to find out about his stalker. Or about the bodyguard thing. And so Hannah - against her will - pretends to be Jack's girlfriend.

But the more time she spends with Jack, the more real the whole thing seems to her. And that's exactly what breaks her heart. Because protecting Jack is easy for Hannah. But protecting her own, long-neglected heart? That's the hardest thing she's ever done
