The Bodyguard Situation

About This Audiobook

Harper Alexander is many things: a sharp-tongued, self-made tech CEO who built her empire from nothing, a woman who doesn’t do ‘help,’ and—unfortunately—a target. When an attempt on her life leaves her shaken, the board insists on round-the-clock protection, and the man assigned is the last person she’d ever tolerate: her ex’s infuriatingly competent brother, Dane Carter. Think less ‘knight in shining armor’ and more ‘overprotective pain in the ass with a six-pack and a chip on his shoulder.’ Their chemistry is instant, volatile, and entirely unprofessional—especially when Harper’s past refuses to stay buried, and Dane’s instincts scream that someone inside her inner circle is the traitor.

This isn’t your typical protectee-protector romance. Parish crafts a high-stakes thriller where trust is a luxury and attraction is a distraction Harper can’t afford. The action crackles with tension, from rooftop chases to boardroom sabotage, but the real fire lies in the push-and-pull between two people who refuse to admit they’re perfect for each other. The narration by Stephanie Rose and Stephen Dexter elevates the story with razor-sharp timing—Rose’s Harper is all biting wit and hidden vulnerability, while Dexter’s Dane oozes rugged authority with a voice that could melt steel. The production enhances the contrasts: the gritty urban settings are immersive, the intimate scenes feel raw, and the pacing keeps you locked in, even when the plot takes a sharp turn.
