Guarding Her Desire

The Bodyguard's Promise Series, Book 2

By Tessa Brooks

The rule was simple—never fall for a client. The reality? She’s already halfway gone.

When former MMA-fighter turned elite bodyguard Riley Carver is assigned to protect Dani Vega, an art forger-turned-informant, she expects trouble. She just doesn’t expect it to come wrapped in charm, chaos, and a devastating smile.

Dani hides fear behind flirtation; Riley hides loneliness behind control. But when a sniper’s bullet shatters their safe house, duty forces them into the California desert, where danger stalks every shadow and temptation burns hotter than the sun.

As betrayals surface and a deadly art-crime ring closes in, Riley must decide whether guarding Dani means keeping her alive—or risking her own heart.

Guarding Her Desire is a steamy lesbian romantic-suspense packed with tension, trust, and the slow surrender of two women learning that courage isn’t just about facing gunfire—it’s about letting someone in.
