My best friend’s little brother needs a bodyguard. Now I’m the one in danger…
I’m a SEAL. Or rather, I was. Retired at the grand old age of thirty-eight, I’m at loose ends. My best friend wants me to join his security team. I’m not sure I’m bodyguard material, but he needs someone to protect his kid brother. How hard can spoiled brat duty be?

Somehow, I missed the part where former child star Danny Love went from dorky TV darling to all grown up and disturbingly attractive. All the gossip about his wild ways fails to mention that he’s trying hard to clean up his act. But now he’s got a stalker.

Hiding out together in a remote mountain cabin, alone, the temptation keeps building. I’m feeling things I never have before. Secrets I’ve kept even from myself bubble to the surface every time Danny looks my way with those puppy dog eyes.

I’m a SEAL. We leap into danger. So why is it so terrifying when that danger comes with the softest pair of lips I’ve ever known? At some point we’re going to have to return to Hollywood and our vastly different lives. Will Danny still want me around when he doesn’t need me for protection? Can I be brave enough to give him a reason to?

TOUGH LUCK is book one in a brand-new SEAL bodyguard series. It features an age gap, steamy first times, and all the high heat, big emotions, and found family feels readers expect from this fan-favorite military romance author. Join A-List security for this lower-angst series featuring former SEALs and the celebrity clients who win their hearts. Happy endings and no cliffhangers guaranteed!

Tough Luck by Annabeth Albert is the story of newly retired Navy SEAL Cash and former child star Danny.

Cash is pulled into Danny’s world when his buddy Duncan (Danny’s half-brother) asks Cash to be Danny’s bodyguard. I want to pause here and I say one of the things I love most about this book is that this piece of the story, the suspense did not overshadow the relationship. Maybe this is critical to me because as whole romantic suspense is not my jam….

I adored how this book was not about anyone fixing anyone… but both characters finding something in each other

Albert does an amazing job making sure the reader can feel what each character gets from the relationship.

Though Danny and Cash have an age gap the story told makes that fade away… as it would with finding your person.

Side Note I loved how Cash’s SEAL buddies called him “Money” it added to the real feel of this story!

I am very excited for the next book in this series Hard Job.
