Bodied: Stuck With The Grumpy Bodyguard
Layla Valentine

Forced to fake date each other, it’s not long before they realize they’re playing their roles too well…
HER
My whole life has been defined by my mom’s career,
Now she’s been elected, it seems like she’s only getting more controlling.
She tells me I need a bodyguard, but it feels like I’m getting a babysitter,
A hot one, for sure, but does he have to be so grumpy?!
There’s no way I can live my life with a bodyguard at my elbow the whole time,
If we’re going to get through this, we’re going to need to try another tactic…
HIM
I knew leaving the army was going to be a change, but fake-dating a senator’s daughter? I didn’t sign up for that!
I didn’t expect Lauren to capture my interest,
I like getting inside her head, seeing what makes her tick,
I can’t let it go further than that.
This job and feelings are two things that don’t go together.
I’ll do whatever I can to protect her, and I’ll tell myself it’s because I’m on the payroll, and not for any other reason,
I’ve never been the type to let my guard down, and I’m not about to start now…
