Keyed Up

Colton Marlatt has room for only two things in his life: his high-risk security job and the daughter who is his entire world. As a single dad and professional bodyguard, control is everything—until he’s pulled from a critical assignment because his new nanny is sick. Nothing prepares him for the woman about to breach every wall he’s built.

Gia Cook has never met a renovation project she couldn’t conquer. But when business slows and she takes a nanny job to make ends meet, she doesn’t expect it to come with a grumpy, overprotective employer—or the temptation to soften Colton Marlatt’s icy heart.

Rainy nights, a sick kid, and forced proximity draw these two unlikely souls together. But when lines blur and feelings deepen, will they risk everything for a love neither of them saw coming?

Under Guard is a low-angst, high-steam single dad bodyguard romance featuring an age-gap, a nanny heroine, and a guaranteed happily ever after. Perfect for poolside binge-reading and restoring your faith in love.
