Guarding Garrett

About

Danger. Desire. A deadly obsession.

Garrett is more than just a star hockey player—he’s the face of the Burlington Dragons, a magnetic playmaker with talent, charm, and a smile that sells millions in endorsements. With legions of fans and a career on fire, his future seems unstoppable. But fame has its price—and Garrett’s is a dangerous one.

A stalker with an unhealthy obsession has turned Garrett’s life into a nightmare. Threats escalate, his every move is watched, and the danger inches closer. Desperate to keep their star safe, the team hires Jason, a former Marine whose quiet strength hides a deadly skill set.

Jason’s job is simple: keep Garrett alive. But forced into close quarters, simple turns complicated. Sparks fly, tempers flare, and the fiery tension between them ignites into something neither man expected. Beneath Garrett’s bravado lies vulnerability, and behind Jason’s stoic exterior is a heart that refuses to be broken again.

But when the stalker makes a bold move at a charity bachelor auction, Garrett’s life hangs in the balance. Jason refuses to back down—even if protecting Garrett means risking his own life.

With danger closing in, their newfound love faces the ultimate test—but some things are worth fighting for.
