Playing the Part (Midnight Edition)

She was hired to protect him.

Falling for him was never part of the assignment.

Seraphina is a seasoned professional—disciplined, controlled, and used to operating in the shadows. When she’s assigned to protect Marco Vierra, a famous actor retreating to Big Sur after burnout and unwanted attention, she expects a quiet job: stay invisible, keep him safe, and leave without complications.

That plan unravels almost immediately.

Marco is magnetic, unraveling beneath the weight of fame, and far more perceptive than he lets on. As a stalker’s obsession escalates from unsettling to dangerous, Seraphina is forced into constant proximity—posing as his assistant while quietly managing a growing threat that refuses to stay at arm’s length.

What neither of them expects is the pull between them.

The tension is sharp. The boundaries are clear. And breaking them could cost Seraphina everything—her career, her control, and possibly Marco’s life. But as danger closes in and the lines between protector and protected blur, resisting each other becomes the most dangerous risk of all.

Playing the Part is an age-gap, bodyguard romance filled with slow-burn tension, explicit intimacy, emotional vulnerability, and high-stakes suspense—where desire collides with duty, and the quiet moments are anything but safe.
