The Bodyguard


Cristina Grenier - 2017
    Lured into the snare of a drug kingpin at a young age, she's been beholden to his every whim since her teenage years. When she does escape, however, she finds that freedom is only the first step to healing her wounded soul. The quickest path to her salvation seems to be cooperating with the FBI to put her Ex behind bars - and end any threat he poses. When she's paired with a foul-mouthed freelance agent with a chip on his shoulder, she begins to question the choices she's made. She's undeniably drawn to Hank Compton's rugged allure, but he's got armor five inches thick and a nasty streak a mile wide. There's no way a man like him can possibly be anything but trouble...is there? Hank has always liked things simple. Over the course of a life filled with violence, he's learned not to care. Caring makes you weak, and weakness gets you killed. When the newest assignment from his superior offers him the ultimate revenge, he jumps at the chance - even if it comes with some pretty substantial baggage. Juliet Brown is everything he's wary of - gorgeous, smart-mouthed, and undeniably damaged - and that only makes him want her more. Hank is long past the point of believing he can be saved, but Juliet promises to be more than just a distracting piece of ass. She could very well be his salvation - and that scares the hell out of him.
