Spotlight and Giveaway: The Bodyguard Affair

We're excited to celebrate the publication of Amy Lea's latest rom-com, The Bodyguard Affair! This sizzling story is sure to warm up your winter. Thanks to Berkley, we have one copy to give away! 

Andi Ziegler lives a double life. By day, she is the personal assistant to the Prime Minister of Canada’s wife. By night, she writes steamy romance novels under a top-secret pen name. When the press captures a compromising photo of her and the Prime Minister and her steamiest book, The Prime Minister & Me, becomes a bestseller seemingly overnight, those two worlds unexpectedly collide.

Enter Nolan Crosby, the PM’s new bodyguard—and Andi’s almost one-night stand from three years ago. Nolan, who is only back in Ottawa to assist with his mother’s transition to a full-time care facility due to her early-onset Alzheimer’s, always knew his assignment would be temporary. Yet scandal aside, Nolan can’t help but want to get closer to Andi, so he agrees to play along with her fake-dating plan until his assignment wraps up at the end of the summer. But in an unexpected plot twist, Andi and Nolan discover that keeping their romance strictly fictional might be easier said than done.

"Clever, steamy, and wildly entertaining! Amy Lea has scripted a truly charming romance, where a secret-writer heroine and a Prime Minister's bodyguard fake-date their way through scandal with humor, spice and genuine heart. I couldn’t stop smiling—or turning the pages!”
—Julia McKay, bestselling author of Christmas at the Ranch

"This contemporary romance features well-developed protagonists with realistic backstories and relatable fears, and there’s plenty of humor and chemistry to balance out the emotion-laden moments. Readers will love Lea’s latest."
—Library Journal

"Lea (The Catch) tugs at readers’ heartstrings with this sweet fake-dating romance...Lea is skilled at balancing heavy moments with light humor. Readers will have no trouble rooting for these two."
—Publishers Weekly
