The Penny — Frank Buchan

When actor Kristen Ward's choices land her on insurance risk lists, part of the price she pays to get a coveted role is being assigned a babysitter in the shape of William Masters. Assigned to Ward for seven weeks, with directions to keep her sober and focused, Masters decides to make the best of it. He soon realises that Kristen Ward needs a bodyguard less than she needs a friend, and commits to doing right by her.
