Training the Bodyguard: A Protective, Forced Proximity Romance. Hard to Handle

They promise she won't live to November. He's the ex-Special Forces wall between her and a bullet-and the one fire he can't put out. When a death note lands on her windshield, incendiary columnist Delilah Monroe-senator's daughter, media wildfire-gets a bodyguard who doesn't knock: Jace Maddox, all rules and zero soft edges. Threats escalate from hacked countdowns to carved warnings and a dead-bird delivery.
Jace moves in, rewires her penthouse, and rewrites her life-no press, no disappearing acts, no arguing with the man trained to be a shield. Forced into a safehouse and relentless training, their proximity turns combustible-elevator walls, midnight surveillance, hands teaching her to shoot. But every breach says someone wants her taken, not just silenced-and a leak inside her world means nowhere is safe.
When the grid goes dark and the bunker is hit, Jace will break protocol to keep her breathing; Delilah will refuse to be caged. Together they hunt the source before it hunts them-because survival isn't enough. She wants her life back. He wants the one thing he's never allowed himself: her. High heat, high stakes, and a heroine who learns to be as dangerous as the man sworn to protect her.
