The Bodyguard by Catherine Carter     336 pages

Hannah Brooks works as an executive protection agent.  She is a bodyguard.   She is trained in reacting to potentially dangerous even deadly circumstances with a clear head, a calm disposition and the skills of a ninja.   She is a force of one and while she looks short and sweet like a kindergarten teacher she could likely best any man in the room at any given time with lethal force.  Her latest assignment is to shadow legendary superstar, Jack Stapleton who is going home to Texas to be with his sick mother and care for her during her illness.   He has currently been dealing with stalker problems.  For one,A middle-aged woman breaking in to his supposedly secure home.   Now that he is going home to his family he wants to protect them too, and he wants to do it without letting them know.  That means Hannah has to work undercover as Jack's girlfriend.   It is all awkward but good with hilarious moments.    Stalkers and death threats abound with Hannah and Jack finding themselves in dire circumstances.  A good read.  I recommend this one to middle schoolers on up.
