From the Protect My Heart blurb:
Gabe Johnson
In the world of pop-punk and nerdom, I'm the drummer that defies stereotypes.
I strive to be the perfect son my wealthy father demands and being gay doesn't equate.
When a striking, muscled bodyguard is thrown into my life to protect me from mobsters, can I keep my secret or fall victim to my heart?
Jeremy Sweet
I'm racing up the ladder in Gabe's father's law firm and he's entrusted me to safeguard his son.
As I dive deep into Gabe's world and even share his bedroom, the lines between obligation and desire blur. With my own questioning swirling inside me, how can I find out if Gabe's queer?
As the gangsters motives unravel, it becomes clear that the future peace of Gabe's family and my career are at stake. Can we fix this mess together?

Reed Kaye's review:
This story is about a bodyguard and coming out story. I really enjoyed Gabe and Jeremy’s story. Both are stumbling with any sort of relationship. Neither really have time. Gabe is in law school and has a dad who accepts nothing less than top grades. Gabe has no time for much else. He watches his roommates getting involved and envies them. Then his dad contacts him about needing better security or needs to move home. His dad has a law firm and is concerned about someone possibly causing his family harm. Gabe has no intention of moving home. His mom and brother know he is gay but he is afraid of his dad finding out. His dad’s solution is to hire Jeremy to be a bodyguard for him.
Jeremy works for Gabe’s dad and is planning on attending law school next year as soon as his finances are better.
Then these two have a sort of instant attraction after Gabe finally agrees to accept Jeremy being with him.
This is a heartwarming story. I enjoyed the secondary characters and was happy for the resolution between Gabe and his dad.
The narration by Finnley Cole really brought these characters to life.
