When Emery Starr witnesses a brutal crime, her life changes in an instant, and the only thing standing between her and the people hunting her is Jaxon Hale - the intimidating, fiercely protective bodyguard assigned to keep her alive.
At a new college and under a new identity, Emery is supposed to blend in and wait for the justice system to do its job. But pretending to be normal is harder than it sounds when panic attacks haunt her nights, fear follows her everywhere, and the six-foot-five man guarding her starts becoming the only person who makes her feel safe.
***
Jax has one rule: protect Emery at all costs.
Getting emotionally attached was never part of the plan.
But between late-night study sessions, whispered reassurances, campus parties, and the quiet moments where Emery slowly begins to heal, the line between protector and something far more dangerous starts to blur.
Because the people after Emery haven't forgotten about her.
And when the past finally catches up to them, Jax will have to decide how far he's willing to go to save the girl he was never supposed to love.

I have read many stories about bodyguard but your stands" "In my opinion, the book was overall great! The plot wasn't cliche (which was awesome), the main character could actually fight (not many MCs can for some reason), and it wasn't immediate love at the beginning of the story. All of those factors made the story really unique, and I'm sure that it would be hard to find another story like that!"

My possessive bodyguard
Aubrey Cross was used to secrets - she just didn't expect to become one. When threats start closing in, her high-profile father assigns her a personal bodyguard: Kai Kingswell. Quiet. Sharp-eyed. Untouchable. He himself isn't exactly thrilled to be guarding a college girl with an attitude of a child and a toxic boyfriend. But danger doesn't wait. And neither do feelings. Thrown into a world she was never supposed to see, Aubrey begins to question everything - about her father, her safety... and the man sent to protect her. He's not what he seems. Then again, neither is she. --------------------------- The story has a playlist, and I highly recommend it while reading the book. The playlist is called: "My bodyguard." And it should be from a creator by the name: "The-1-and only.
