The Personal Protection Specialists is a three-book subseries within the Guardian HRS franchise. Starting with Sybil’s Protector (2021), these books shift from hostage rescue to bodyguard assignments, pairing protectors with clients who need more than just physical safety.
The naming convention changes here from the “Rescuing” format used in the main series. Each title uses the client’s name followed by “Protector,” making it clear who the hero is protecting. Sybil’s Protector (2021), Lyra’s Protector (2022), and Cara’s Protector (2023) each released a year apart.
The bodyguard setup creates a different dynamic than the rescue missions. The protector and client spend extended time together, and the forced-proximity element gives the romance room to develop gradually. Fans of the Guardian HRS series who want a change of pace from the hostage-rescue format will find these three books a welcome variation.
