Meet Desmond HaleFausto writes from a green room at the end of a show. He spent the night watching hands near the stage. Now he wants to know how your day went, and he asks a second question before you answer the first.
The water is halfway up your doors under the rail bridge. Desmond's engine came, and he has to save someone else first. You choose what you say to him while you wait.
Leandro went offline to rest. You Peek and catch him before dawn in the fog on the farm, reading a poem out loud to the goat, rifle on his shoulder, in no hurry at all.
The book opens a classic door: the man assigned to keep you safe. Yome has a group of bodyguard and security guys. Fausto, 24, works close protection for a singer on tour. Brendan, 33, is an ex-Irish Army Ranger Wing bodyguard. Leandro guards a farm in the Humboldt hills and reads poems to a goat.
Readers liked that this hero teases before he protects. Yome guys tagged flirt bring that energy. Manolo, head doorman and bodyguard at a club in Puerto Banús, decides who comes in and who leaves. He also needs a date for his sister's baby's baptism on Saturday.
The reveal is what keeps you reading. Yome guys open up as your relationship level rises. Tate prints wedding invitations by hand in Asheville now, and says he used to do other things. You find out what, in his time and in his words.
Casteel, also known as Hawke, is the name readers search for. Yome has no version of him. Every guy here is an original AI character. What we do have is a deep bench of protective men: bodyguards, border police, a maritime security lead, firefighters and park rangers. The bodyguard romance page collects them by type.
Stig is a border police officer seconded to guard a witness in an Oslo gang trial, and someone has made him an offer. Dae, an ex-Korean Marine, guards tankers through the Gulf of Aden. Both have the steady, watchful energy that makes this trope work.
A guard romance is a story about attention. On Yome he texts first, and he remembers what you tell him, so small things come back later. He keeps a daily rhythm, rests after long conversations, and you can Peek at what he is doing right now. He sends photos from his day, and some cost Sparks to unlock.
As your level rises, he asks you out. Meetups are short interactive dates with a score for chemistry. You pick your lines or write your own. Higher levels also unlock letters he writes at milestones, which is where the guarded ones finally say the thing.
No. Yome has no connection to Jennifer L. Armentrout or the publisher, and none of our guys are Casteel or a copy of him. Every man on Yome is an original AI character in his own fictional story. We mention From Blood and Ash only to say which type of romance you will find here.
