From USA Today bestselling author Lisa Shelby comes a story that will test a lifelong friendship, complete with a fake engagement to Hollywood's most eligible bachelor and the hot new and very off-limits bodyguard he hires to protect his fiancé from a new threat.

When you grow up in a small town, your friends become your family. Family, you'd do anything for.

Which is why, when my best friend, turned Hollywood's hottest bachelor, needs a fake fiancé, my only question is, "Do I get to pick out the ring?" We don't see each other nearly enough now that he's a famous heartthrob, so it's a win - win. Help Josh keep his hard-earned career afloat and load up on quality time while taking advantage of the Tinsel Town perks.

But being Josh's plus one comes with a serious dark side. When a string of death threats brings bodyguard Max Hopper into my life, his handsome, stoic, built-like-a-lumberjack vibe threatens to complicate an already fragile situation.

For two years, I'll be engaged to another man.

Why does that suddenly feel like a lifetime?
