The South Beach Bodyguards series by Erin McCarthy is set in Miami, where a team of professional bodyguards protects high-profile clients while trying to keep their personal feelings in check. The series opens with Burn, where a bodyguard assigned to protect a woman in danger finds the line between professional and personal quickly blurring.
The Miami setting adds a layer of glamour and heat to the romantic suspense formula. McCarthy pairs the danger of protection details with the tension of forbidden attraction, keeping the action and the romance balanced across all three books. The one-word titles (Burn, Break, Heat) match the direct, intense tone of the series.
Published in 2016 and 2017, the South Beach Bodyguards books are among McCarthy’s entries in the romantic suspense genre. The three-book format keeps the series tight and focused, making it a good choice for readers who want romance with stakes higher than a missed dinner reservation.
