Elena Fortescu is a vampire with a secret. Many secrets in fact, ones that keep her hulled up inside her house, away from the rest of the world. Haunted and raped by a vampire named Lucian and his army of men, her brother insists he hire a bodyguard to keep her safe until Lucian is captured and killed. She never expected the bodyguard to be handsome Nicolas Dupree, who has a few secrets of his own.

Elena tries to fight her desires, but the connection with Nicolas is too strong. After Lucian’s attack, she hadn’t been able to give herself freely to a man, except in the event of seeking food. But Nicolas efforts change that, showing her the good in place of all the bad.

But Lucian lurks around the corner, haunting Elena both physically and mentally. And it’s up to Nicolas to stop him before he tries anything. Taking her to his family’s safe house, he recruits his brother to help him protect Elena. Will Elena be able to face her fears and overcome the troubles inflicted in her past? Or will Lucian’s hold over her prevent her from her one true love?

THE BODYGUARD is filled with fast-paced action, a wonderful cast of characters and a plot that that kept me enthralled from start to finish. I applaud Nicolas’s character and his determination in helping Elena overcome her fears, no matter what it took. I also applaud Elena’s strength and how she never gave up. THE BODYGUARD is a heartfelt story that will dwell in your memory long after you read the last word. A job well done, Ms. Hasker. I highly recommend this book.
