Guard Me Like You Mean It

The world knows the song she wrote about him. Nobody knows he let her lie. Pop superstar Sienna Marlowe is ready to reclaim the stage-until a threat appears inside her locked rehearsal world, quoting lyrics no outsider should know. She refuses the protection team chosen by management. Instead, she hires Eli Mercer, the disciplined security specialist she once loved in secret and turned into the unmistakable villain of her biggest breakup song. Eli never corrected the story that damaged his career. Sienna never admitted how much of their ending she let the world simplify. Now every compromised system, breached hotel floor, and weaponized lyric forces them closer to the truth-and to each other. But the danger is coming from inside Sienna's comeback machine. To expose it, Sienna and Eli must decide who they can trust, who owns a shared story, and whether protection can exist without control. A high-heat, second-chance bodyguard romantic suspense with a competent heroine, an insider mystery, and a complete happily-ever-after.
