The Protectors is Brenda Jackson’s bodyguard romance series, published in 2017. Forged in Desire introduces protector Lamar “Striker” Jennings and his client Margo Connelly, and the following books continue with other protector-client pairings. The setup is classic romantic suspense: forced proximity, real danger, and the slow burn between two people who did not plan on falling for each other.
Jackson keeps the pacing tight across all four books, balancing the suspense elements with the romantic development that her readers expect.
