The Bodyguard - Michelle Betham

Keeping her safe was just the beginning.

Lena

I always knew my father wasn't a good man.
The things he did weren't good.
The people he knew, they weren't good people.
But the one thing he'd always promised me was that I'd be safe. And I'd believed him. I'd never needed protecting from the s**t my family was involved in, until the day Bodie Bekker was assigned, by my father, to shadow my every move; protect me from a threat nobody seemed in any hurry to tell me about.
Just like that I had my very own bodyguard. A stranger I didn't need, want, or welcome. A tall, arrogant, handsome stranger. But I sure as hell didn't need protecting. And, yeah, I told him that. But he didn't listen.
He accepted my stubbornness.
Fought my protests.
He never gave up.
And I didn't know it at the time, but, he couldn't, give up. Because he wasn't just protecting me.
Bodie Bekker had secrets.
So did my family.
And somewhere in the middle was me, falling for a man I had no business going anywhere near, while my entire world was about to be torn apart.

Bodie

Babysitting an entitled princess wasn't my idea of fun, but I didn't get to pick and choose the jobs I was given. I went where I was told, but Lena Nielsen, man, she was a piece of work. In the beginning.
Neither of us wanted to be in the situation we found ourselves in. Neither of us had a choice. That's all we had in common, in the beginning.
But, as it turned out, she wasn't really the entitled princess I'd assumed she'd be. She was smart. Funny. Beautiful. And I shouldn't have let her get under my skin, the stakes were too high. Too dangerous. And I should've known better, given my past. I should've drawn that line and stayed behind it but I didn't. Couldn't. Wouldn't. But I should've.
My job wasn't as simple as just protecting her. Keeping her safe was only the beginning, she had no idea what she was really being protected from; the lies that were being told. The secrets people were keeping. The danger they were putting her in. She had no idea that I was only adding to that danger, because once those lies were exposed; those secrets revealed, all hell was going to break loose.
Keeping her safe was just the beginning.
Falling in love was the mistake.
Telling the truth was the only way out.
The only way to save her. Me. Both of us.
