A hardworking, competitive, and skilled hockey player, Garrett is the cornerstone of the Burlington Dragons hockey team and one of the league’s most popular playmakers. Blessed with a face that delivers millions in endorsements, he has a legion of fans, and a future so bright that he is the envy of many.
When his internet fame puts him in danger, and a stalker threatens his life, the team hires Jason, a quiet but deadly former marine, to protect him. Danger is always close, but forced proximity means sparks fly, attraction burns, and somehow, resentment turns to love.
When Garrett’s stalker ups their game at a charity bachelor auction, there is a real chance it could mean the end for Garrett, but Jason refuses to leave his side whatever the risk.
These two stubborn men will have to fight to walk away from this alive, but their newfound love is worth every sacrifice.

A bodyguard and hockey combo story? What more could I ask for!
RJ Scott writes fantastic romantic suspense stories. She also writes fantastic hockey stories, and stories that make my tears fall when there are sad and happy times. She writes great stories, period.
Guarding Garrett combines the best of two worlds – hockey and bodyguards. Garrett is being stalked and at first, he won’t admit that he has a problem. When things escalate and his team finds out, they hire Jason as protection for him.
There’s a lot of sexual tension in this story and it’s a bit of a slow-burn as nothing sexual happens between them until about two-thirds of the way into the book. But all of the suspense with the threats to Garrett’s life definitely kept me engrossed in the story. And when things heat up between Jason and Garrett? Yum!
I truly had no idea who the bad guy was going to be until all was revealed. Guarding Garrett was a great book to kick off this series of related stories that can each be read as standalone books.
