15 parts Complete Aria Blake was the girl everyone wanted to be-gorgeous, ruthless, and unforgettable. The Queen Bee of high school who chased a boy, played the villain, and left behind a trail of broken hearts and burning bridges. Years later, she's at the top of the modeling world-but behind the flashing cameras and flawless makeup is a woman unraveling. When a stalker breaches her false sense of safety, Aria's world crashes. Terrified and shut off from everyone, she pulls away from everything she built.
Enter Reese Calder-ex-military, no-nonsense, and hired as her new bodyguard. To Reese, Aria is just another spoiled celebrity with too many secrets. But she didn't expect the haunted eyes, the shaking hands, or the quiet resilience hiding beneath her sharp tongue. What starts as a job turns into something else. Something more dangerous.
In a world that never forgave her past, Aria doesn't expect protection. She doesn't expect comfort. But Reese... she's unlike anyone she's ever known. Cold, steady, and terrifyingly close.
Behind Her Guard is a story of trauma, redemption, and love that finds its way through guarded silence, stolen glances, and two broken souls colliding when they least expect it.
