Heated Bodyguard Summer (Paperback)

(Preorder - books in printing and estimated shipment date is August 17, 2026)

She came to Sunbreak Harbor to feel safe again.
She didn’t expect danger to follow… or to fall for the man hired to protect her.

Celebrity chef Kara Stone is used to control. In the kitchen, on camera, and in the carefully polished life she’s built in Orlando, every detail matters. Then someone breaks into her home without forcing a lock.

Nothing is stolen at first glance ... until Kara realizes her favorite chef’s knife is missing. When a chilling photo of that same knife arrives with a message meant only for her, one thing becomes terrifyingly clear. The break-in wasn’t random.

With her house under repair and her nerves unraveling, Kara retreats to the sunny coastal town of Sunbreak Harbor. But the quiet beach cottage that was supposed to help her breathe soon feels less like an escape … and more like a place where someone can watch.

Former Navy SEAL Cole Navarro knows how to read danger. As Kara’s temporary bodyguard, his job is simple: stay close, keep her alive, and ignore the heat burning hotter every time she looks at him.

But Kara’s stalker knows things a stranger shouldn’t know.

Her habits.
Her fears.
Her past.
The people she trusts.

And as the threats turn more personal, Cole realizes protecting Kara may mean uncovering a betrayal intimate enough to destroy her.

Someone wants Kara scared. Isolated. Dependent.

But they made one fatal mistake.

They came for her while Cole Navarro was standing in the way.

Heated Bodyguard Summer is a steamy former Navy SEAL romantic suspense with forced proximity, a protective bodyguard hero, beach town danger, psychological twists, and a guaranteed happily ever after.

Welcome to Sunbreak Harbor—sea breeze, boardwalk fries, and trouble with a tan. Sunbreak Security keeps the island safe between fireworks and rip currents. Until each protector meets the one person worth breaking protocol for.
