The Bodyguard's Fall: A Cozy Fall Romantic Comedy

Cindy Steel

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 SteelAutumn on My Mind by Gracie Ruth MitchellResisting the Fall by Jess HeilemanFalling for Keeps by Kasey StocktonOnce Upon a Fall by Becky MonsonFall Fake-Out by Kortney KeiselForbidden to Fall by Martha KeyesAutumn Kissed by Deborah M.
