He only intended to protect her

But wound up falling…hard!

After a series of scary social media threats, cyber tech expert Robbie Whitaker decided to lend his services to Selene Reilly. Soon, however, the intimidation toward the lovely musician turned physical, and reality set in. Though he wasn’t trained to be anyone’s bodyguard, in the short time he’d known Selene, Robbie was certain he’d do anything in his power to protect her. And while Selene seemed determined to keep some secrets, the unexpected guardian within Robbie was taking no chances. He’d be defending her day and night.

Defended by the Bodyguard by Caridad Pineiro
Crooked Pass Security series #2. Harlequin Intrigue. Spin off from South Beach Security multiple series. Best read in series order since characters and conversations about the prior case and why they are in Colorado are talked about but not in any detail.
Robbie Whitaker is in Colorado wrapping up a previous case. When he finds out Selene Reilly is being threatened, he jumps in to protect her.

🎧 I listened to an audiobook narrated by Marisa Blake who did the first in this series as well. The performance was great with specific voices for Robbie and Selene as well as a few of the secondary characters. Emotions such as fear and anxiety came through clearly. Spanish phrases were fluent.
I listened at 1.5 and slightly higher to more closely match my reading speed.

Fast action and suspense as Robbie falls quickly for the lovely Selene.
