Heartbreak Hero: An age gap bodyguard romance (Redleg Security Book 1)

Six months ago, I did the unthinkable when I fell for a woman I was protecting.
She’s too young for me — too innocent — and being with me comes at a cost I won't force her to pay.
So I did the best thing I could do to save her — I left.

But she’s never left my mind. Or my heart.
Although she doesn’t know it, I never stopped guarding her from afar.

Then one night, my worst nightmare comes true.
Her life has been threatened. Because of me.

When I race to her side, she’s furious at me.
I don’t blame her after how I left her last time.
No matter how many times she orders me away, I won’t budge.

Reluctantly, she agrees to hideout with me while my team neutralizes the threat.
Our chemistry is still explosive.
Being this close to her 24/7 might make it impossible to keep my mouth – and other parts – to myself.

Succumbing to our passion could spell disaster.
Especially with my enemy determined to hurt her.

But I’ll stop at nothing to protect Sue… my angel.
And this time, I won’t break her heart. I’ll be her hero.

Heartbreak Hero is a medium-slow burn, romantic suspense novel with some romcom vibes, plot twists, steamy times, foul language, and page-turning action. This novel features a plus-sized, neurodivergent heroine and a protective hero who helps her see her quirks as strengths and loves her exactly as she is. There is a happily ever after, no cheating, and no other woman drama. Tropes: Second chance, age-gap, and forced proximity. Check the front of the book or the author's website for content warnings.

A note from the author regarding the suggested reading order:
Heartbreak Hero is Book 1 in the Redleg Security Series. Each book in this series features a different couple, complete with their happily ever after and is a "complete story" with no cliffhangers. The books are best read in order to avoid suspense-related plot spoilers since each book starts right where the prior book ends. However, each book can be read on its own if you don't wish to read them all. Also, they get spicier as the series progresses.
