    "description": "<p>She\u0092s got his back. Hannah Brooks looks more like a kindergarten teacher than somebody who could kill you with a wine bottle opener. Or a ballpoint pen. Or a dinner napkin. But the truth is, she\u0092s an Executive Protection Agent (aka \"bodyguard\"), and she just got hired to protect superstar actor Jack Stapleton from his middle-aged, corgi-breeding stalker. He\u0092s got her heart. Jack Stapleton\u0092s a household name\u0097captured by paparazzi on beaches the world over, famous for, among other things, rising out of the waves in all manner of clingy board shorts and glistening like a Roman deity. But a few years back, in the wake of a family tragedy, he dropped from the public eye and went off the grid. They\u0092ve got a secret. When Jack\u0092s mom gets sick, he goes home to the family\u0092s Texas ranch to help out. Only one catch: He doesn\u0092t want his family to know about his stalker. Or the bodyguard thing. And so Hannah\u0097against her will and her better judgment\u0097finds herself pretending to be Jack\u0092s girlfriend as a cover. Even though her ex, says no one will believe it. What could possibly go wrong? Hannah hardly believes it, herself. But the more time she spends with Jack, the more real it all starts to seem. And there lies the heartbreak. Because it\u0092s easy for Hannah to protect Jack. But protecting her own, long-neglected heart? That\u0092s the hardest thing she\u0092s ever done.</p>",
