Celebrity, security, and crossed boundaries

Maximoff Hale has grown up under public scrutiny, and his new bodyguard, Farrow Keene, is expected to keep that world at a professional distance. The complication is mutual attraction: acting on it risks Farrow’s job and could expose both men. The setup brings together the pressures of a famous family, constant visibility, and a relationship that conflicts with the rules of protection work. As the first book in the Like Us series, it centers on a romance between a celebrity and the person assigned to guard him.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in LGBTQ+ romance between men.
  • Readers who enjoy celebrity and bodyguard relationship premises.
  • Readers looking for a first installment that the description says can be read independently of the authors’ other novels.

Book overview

Don't date your bodyguard.

It was the one rule he had to break.



Maximoff Hale is a force of nature. A ship unwilling to be steered. Headstrong, resilient, and wholly responsible -- the twenty-two-year-old alpha billionaire can handle his unconventional life. By noon, lunch can turn into a mob of screaming fans. By two, his face is all over the internet.



Born into one of the most famous families in the country, his celebrity status began at birth.



He is certified American royalty.



When he's assigned a new 24/7 bodyguard, he comes face-to-face with the worst case scenario: being attached to the tattooed, MMA-trained, Yale graduate who's known for "going rogue" in the security team -- and who fills 1/3 of Maximoff's sexual fantasies.



Twenty-seven-year-old Farrow Keene has one job: protect Maximoff Hale. Flirting, dating, and hot sex falls far, far out of the boundary of his bodyguard duties and into "termination" territory. But when feelings surface, protecting the sexy-as-sin, stubborn celebrity becomes increasingly complicated.



Together, boundaries blur, and being exposed could mean catastrophic consequences for both.



Damaged Like Us is the first book in the Like Us series and can be read and enjoyed without reading any of Krista & Becca's other novels.
