Bodyguard romance books
Hired to protect her body — never expecting to lose his heart.
The bodyguard hero is forbidden proximity turned all the way up. Paid to keep the heroine safe, professionally bound to keep his distance, he's forced into constant closeness with the one person he absolutely cannot touch. The tension is exquisite: every shared hotel room and brush of contact is a violation of the rules he lives by, and the danger that requires his presence keeps the stakes sky-high.
He's a romantic-suspense favorite, often a former military or special-ops type, and he overlaps naturally with the protector and protective heroes. The conflict runs on professionalism versus desire, and the plot's danger usually forces the confession his discipline would otherwise prevent forever.
For readers who love forced proximity, simmering restraint, and a hero whose job is the only thing standing between him and the heroine, the bodyguard is pure tension.
