Welcome to the city of Angelthene. We hope you survive. Loren Calla has only ever been ordinary. As a human struggling to survive in a city that caters to the needs of vampires, werewolves, witches, and other supernatural creatures, she always assumed her life would remain simple, predictable, and as safe as her world would allow. Until she barely escapes abduction at the hands of Darkslayers—supernatural bounty hunters that possess the Sight, a magical tracking ability that allows them to see a person’s aura—and one of her friends is taken in her place. The abductors are demanding a ransom: Loren's life in exchange for her friend's safe return. Loren will do whatever it takes to get her friend back—even if it means accepting help from Darien Cassel, the leader of the Seven Devils, the most feared Darkslaying circle in the city. Darien specializes in tracking down demons and criminals that are better off dead than alive, so when he takes a job to track down Loren and finds out she is human—and couldn't hurt a fly if her life depended on it—he decides to protect her instead of turn her in for a reward. As much as Loren doesn't want to admit it, Darien is her best and only chance at finding her friend alive, if she can somehow manage to get along with him—and not fall head-over-heels in love with him in the process, which is far easier said than done. When more women start disappearing, and some of them slowly turn up dead, Loren and Darien's search for answers takes them deep into Angelthene's corrupt underbelly, where they discover a dark secret that threatens to unravel their world. And when tragedy strikes, Loren learns that love can make an ordinary person do extraordinary things.

Thrust into a world of magic where the veil between life and death is thin, Lucina must navigate a bloodline stained by betrayal, anomalous power, and a demon bound to her soul. Lucina Carmine was raised as a burden, studying the stars as if there was greener grass tucked between them. On the other side of the continent, the Captain was raised as a weapon, oathbound to protect and serve the Sol—witches forced to evacuate their kingdom after a betrayal led to the fall of their once glorious city. When a fate-led scrape with death awakens dormant magic within her, Lucina's life collides with the Captain’s. Faced with the opportunity to uncover her true ancestral lineage, she joins him in Pirn–a hidden refuge for the Sol.Suspicions rise over her mysterious arrival, and until her bloodline can be revealed, the Captain is ordered to watch her every move. Tensions rise between them, the line of professionalism begins to blur, and the Captain loses what he has spent his whole life guarding–his heart. But the emergence of her power has provoked something far more sinister, and when Lucina uncovers the full truth about her heritage, perhaps she is the last person he should trust it with.

Her stalker is getting closer. So is her bodyguard. I know how to write murder mysteries. Dead bodies? Great. Blood and gore? Even better. Romance? Absolutely not. Unfortunately, my production company disagrees. After years of writing cozy crime dramas, I'm suddenly being forced to write a flannel-and-cider romance packed with pumpkin patches, fall festivals, and happily-ever-afters I don't actually believe in. Not after spending months hiding from a stalker who's growing more obsessive each day. Which is how I end up back in my hometown of Autumn Ridge, Vermont, under the protection of Tate Walker: my older brother's best friend, an off-duty cop recovering from a dangerous undercover operation, and the same overprotective pain in my neck who never could mind his own business. Now I'm hiding out on his family's hay farm while police hunt my stalker. Between self-defense lessons, tractor rides, and cozy autumn outings that feel suspiciously like dates, I start finding inspiration for my romantic screenplay in the one place I never expected: My bodyguard. But as the threats escalate and my stalker gets closer, so do Tate and I. Turns out the hardest love story I've ever had to write... is the one I'm living. The Bodyguard's Fall is a cozy, closed-door romance full of sizzle, witty banter, and chemistry but without explicit content. This book is part of the Falling for Autumn series, eight interconnected standalones written by eight amazing authors: The Bodyguard's Fall by Cindy Steel Autumn on My Mind by Gracie Ruth Mitchell Resisting the Fall by Jess Heileman Falling for Keeps by Kasey Stockton Once Upon a Fall by Becky Monson Fall Fake-Out by Kortney Keisel Forbidden to Fall by Martha Keyes Autumn Kissed by Deborah M.
