I am currently reading The Bodyguard by Katherine Center.

Hannah is tasked with protecting Superstar Jack from his stalker while he visits his sick mom. However, he does not want his sick mom to know that he may be in danger and asks Hannah to pretend to be his girlfriend.

So far, I find this book interesting and very easy to read.
