Steal my breath away

Sarah Castille

Book - 2025

"New York Times bestselling author Sarah Castille brings another angsty, deeply emotional, heated romance that blends Ana Huang's Twisted Games with Katherine Center's The Bodyguard. Emotions run high, but the tempo thrums higher as music, heat, and angst collide between a singer and her bodyguard. Haley Chapman has struggled against rules all her life. As the daughter of a senator, she's expected to finish her college degree, but music is her one true love-the only outlet she has for her wild, impulsive feelings. When Haley becomes the target of a brazen kidnapping attempt linked to her mother's high-profile Senate career, the Senator insists on round-the-clock protection. Having a security detail follow her around... college feels like overkill, but the Senator has the perfect solution. Ace Murphy was her brother's best friend, and a former Air Force pilot, now working in personal security as a celebrity bodyguard. He was also Haley's teenage crush and the man who abandoned her when she needed him most, breaking her fragile heart. Now, as Ace poses as her boyfriend on campus, their personalities clash. He may be her protector but to Haley, Ace is just another obstacle to her freedom and a painful reminder of the past. But as the threats escalate, their forced proximity ignites a connection they can't ignore-one that could either save them or break them all over again"-- Provided by publisher.

Review by Library Journal Review

Music is Haley Chapman's one true passion. Working at her college radio station and playing gigs with a local band as she pursues her psychology degree allows her to spend her time doing what she loves. Unfortunately, someone wants to derail her mother's senatorial election campaign. When they attempt to kidnap Haley, her music has to take a back seat to her safety. Luckily, a family friend (and Haley's old crush) works in private security and is in town. Ace Murphy is willing to help out the Chapmans, but he is not ready for the complicated feelings that Haley stirs within him as he pretends to be her boyfriend around campus. Nor is he prepared for the reminders of the loss of Haley's brother, Ace's close friend, while they served overseas together in the military or the deep guilt he feels. Keeping Haley physically safe from outside threats is paramount for Ace, but can he avoid breaking her heart again? VERDICT Readers will love the drama of this emotional New Adult romance, set in the same world as The Sound of Us. Perfect for fans of Ana Huang and Anna Todd.--Jenna Harmison
