Can You Protect Me? 5 Bodyguard Romances You’ll Instantly Adore

If you’re a fan of romantic movies, you’ve for sure watched The Bodyguard (1992) starring powerhouses Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner. I bet you fell in love with the bodyguard trope from that point forward! It’s such a good trope! The way one person’s whole mission and goal is to protect you so you don’t get hurt? That they’ll always be there when you need them the most? It can't be beaten!

The bodyguard trope has high-stakes situations, forbidden love, intense scenes where the bodyguard’s emotions are running wild when the main character gets hurt, etc. There are a few books in this list that also have a little bit of fake dating because they obviously don’t want the world to know they have a bodyguard, so of course, they are going to pretend their new bodyguard is their partner *swoons*
