I don't need a bodyguard. My stalker is fake. I’m positive those letters were written by my controlling, ultra-religious father so he'd have an excuse to hire someone to watch my every move. It's just my luck that he's a U.S. Senator and my new bodyguard is a Secret Service agent with one strike left. It's worse luck that my new bodyguard isn't just hot, he's... nice. Gabriel treats me like I'm more than a bargaining chip or a potential wife to do his cooking and cleaning. He laughs at my jokes. He listens to my opinions. When he thinks I'm hurt, he goes ballistic. And when he catches me sneaking out of my family’s house, he keeps my secret. He even buys me a drink. Just because he's sweet, protective, and fills out a suit like nobody's business doesn't mean I can trust him. He's still working for my father, and his job is on the line. If only that were enough to keep me from sneaking into his room every night. Now we're keeping a secret that could ruin us both. I need a way out. He needs a way back in. There's no way this can work, but I've always had faith. Safekeeping is a high-heat standalone romance. It's for fans of bodyguards, super-protective heroes, high-stakes secret relationships, and anyone who's been at odds with their family. The hero is a Secret Service agent who's not about to let anyone touch the heroine, and the heroine is plucky, brave, and not afraid to find her own way. It's a steamy, high-stakes story, and of course there's an HEA! This standalone is for fans of Lauren Landish, Nicole Snow, Cate C. Wells, and Anna Hackett.

When her father calls, telling her he's arranged for her to marry a man she barely knows, Lexi is positive something is wrong. In an effort to give herself some time to figure out what's going on, she decides the only way to slow things down is to arrange her own marriage.

But when Lexi tells him her father is forcing her to marry the man he was hired to protect her from in the first place, he feels the only way to keep her safe is to marry her in an attempt to get her father from Greece to the states so he can figure out what's going on. When their secret is leaked, and Lexi's life is put in danger, they have no choice but to run. Now, they're stuck together, and the more they learn about each other, the less pretend their marriage feels. Other books by Bree Livingston: The Clean Billionaire Romance Series: 1.
