The Hero I Can’t Resist by Hope Ford

He’s my brother’s best friend.
My childhood obsession.
And now… my bodyguard.

Zach Campbell is assigned to protect me from a stalker.
He looks like he stepped off a movie set—smoldering eyes, chiseled jaw, and body made for sin.
The kind of man who belongs on a magazine cover. Not in my kitchen.
But behind the perfection is a man haunted by guilt—dark, quiet, and always shadowing his smile.

He’s supposed to keep me safe. Not pin me against counters. Not steal the air from my lungs with one look.
But the second he walks through my door, everything changes.

He watches me like he owns me.
Touches me like he’s dying to sin.
And when he finally kisses me?
I’m ruined for anyone else.

He says he’ll protect me at all costs…

But it’s not the stalker I fear.
It’s losing the only man I’ve ever wanted.
