Guarded Theory Page

Welcome to the Guarded Theory Page. This is a place where you can discuss confirmed, debunked, and unconfirmed theories from the Guarded series.

Confirmed Theories

 * Word "Guarded": Possibilities on what "guarded" might refer to:
 * Personal Bodyguard: The story could revolve around security or personal bodyguards, similar to Witness: A Bodyguard Romance. This is confirmed in Choices Insiders November 2023.
 * Female Lead: Given the recent surge in female-lead stories, it is believed this one will be too. This is confirmed with the sneak peek featuring the main character.
 * Single-LI: Given the recent surge in single-love interest stories, it is believed this one will be too. This is confirmed in the Book's blog.
 * Mature-tagged: Given the recent surge in mature-tagged books, it is theorized that this book will be as well. This is confirmed with the Book's 17+ tag.
 * Dual Lead: The summaries for Chapters 1 and 2 have led some to believe that we'll be playing as both a customizable MC working on a movie and their bodyguard. This is confirmed in the Book's blog.

Debunked Theories

 * Sports book: It is believed that this is the aforementioned book that was being mentioned by PB 'in the works'. PB debunked this in Choices Insiders August 2023.
 * Word "Guarded": Both are debunked when the November 2023 Choices newsletter mentions bodyguard:
 * Guarded Place: This story might focus on guarded places (banks, museums, etc).
 * Person: The main character or a love interest might have become a cautious person before the events of the story.
