Bodyguard Most Wanted - Katherine Garbera (HRS #2254 - Nov 2023)

Series: Price Security (Book 1)
 
It's her job to keep him alive…
Not to fall in love.
 
When Nicholas DeVere's bodyguard is murdered, Luna Urban takes on the task of protecting the tabloid-famous billionaire. Her task is complicated by the fact that, having already survived countless attempts on his life, Nick feels invulnerable. And, after one electric kiss, the attraction between them becomes a dangerous distraction. Will his recklessness be his undoing -- or will her feelings leave her fatally compromised?

 
Neat twist on a bodyguard story. Here we have billionaire Nick, who has survived many attempts on his life, and the female bodyguard hired to protect him. Nick feels invulnerable which makes him resistant to Luna's attempts to protect him. Luna is determined to keep him safe and it sets up quite the power struggle between them. Along with that power struggle are sparks of attraction that neither can deny.
 
When they discover that Nick's father has been receiving letters threatening Nick's life for years, and claiming that someone else is the rightful heir, they set out to find who is behind the threats and murders. There are multiple twists in the investigation that led to a suspect I never saw coming. The final confrontation was intense and kept me hooked until it was resolved.
 
I liked watching the relationship between Nick and Luna develop. Luna was a strong woman with a tough past who finally found a home and family with Price Security. However, she also holds back a piece of herself, never ready to fully commit and risk losing everything again. Nick also puts on the persona of a care-free playboy, hiding the heart that cares for people and protecting him from loss. Nick and Luna recognize that trait in each other, which brings them closer together. But their different ways of life make it difficult to see how they could have a life together. I loved their open communication about needs and expectations, and how they found a compromise that worked for them.
 
I can't wait to see what comes next for Price Security.
