“Vigilant Guard,” A Romance Suspense Book by K.A. Blaze, was Showcased at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books

ReadersMagnet exhibited K.A. Blaze’s romantic-suspense novel, “Vigilant Guard: Book 1 of Silvercrest Executive Security,” at the 2026 Los Angeles Times Festival of Books. The largest free, outdoor literary festival took place last April 18–19, 2026, at the University of Southern California (USC) in Los Angeles. This renowned annual festival honors literature, arts, and culture, uniting exceptional books, dynamic programming, and memorable experiences that inspire and delight readers of every generation.

“Vigilant Guard” introduces readers to Jessica Ian, whose life is shattered when she witnesses her boss’s murder. With a critical flash drive missing and a dangerous secret in play, Jessica flees to the coastal town of Lighthouse Grove, desperate for anonymity and safety. But the quiet sanctuary she seeks quickly unravels. An unsettling sense of being watched escalates into a terrifying reality—someone is tracking her, determined to silence her before the truth comes to light.

Cooper Silvercrest, a former Marine who now runs an elite security firm, has returned home seeking a fresh start. When he encounters Jessica at a local diner, their connection is immediate. Yet his latest assignment reveals that the guarded newcomer is far from ordinary—she is a woman marked by danger and shadowed by secrets.

As attraction intensifies, so does the threat against Jessica. When a stalker’s obsession turns violent, she places her trust in Cooper’s capable hands. Together, they begin to untangle a web of deception only to uncover a chilling revelation: the man pursuing her may not be the true killer. The real mastermind remains hidden—and will do anything to protect his deadly secrets.

Blending pulse-pounding suspense with emotional depth and undeniable chemistry, Blaze launches a thrilling new series where courage, loyalty, and love are tested against relentless danger.
