This CP is Part 2 of 2 and continues on the idea from CP 72.<\/a><\/p>\n

Again, this idea plays heavily into the established clich\u00e9 of the college age daughter of a rich family who hires her a much older bodyguard to watch over her.<\/p>\n

While this idea will have my usual banter and humor style in the story, it won\u2019t be a comedy\/humorous type story. This isn\u2019t one of those different worlds collide with the super serious bodyguard and funny college girls going \u2018omg he\u2019s so cringe\u2019.<\/p>\n

To play against type for this idea too, I would even have the college girl (1st<\/sup> pic) be nice and appreciate of the bodyguard and him being there to watch over her.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s spending the summer somewhere away from home, in a new property owned by her family. It\u2019s somewhere warm and on a beach. It\u2019s a bit upscale but not in a big city or crowed area. No Miami type locations.<\/p>\n

Her friends with be with her most of the summer too (2nd<\/sup> pic) but will come and go throughout the story. All three girls are from rich\/wealthy families but they\u2019re not snobby rich. They\u2019re used to the good life as that\u2019s all they\u2019ve known. If anything, they\u2019re more on the na\u00efve side of things verse the petty, talking down to people.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re used to having someone prepare their meals, fill their drinks for them. It\u2019s the, \u2018can\u2019t relate\u2019 vibe but not in an intentional way. At least that\u2019s how I\u2019ll try to make it come across.<\/p>\n

There won\u2019t be any romantic angles here either. No young girl falls for older protector or vice versa. That could work for certain ideas but not for the direction I want to take this one in.<\/p>\n

The main thing to figure out is why she needs a bodyguard in the first place. Who\u2019s after her or her family? And what threats is her bodyguard protecting her from? I don\u2019t think his problems from his life would show up here either. It would be whatever her or her family is dealing with only.<\/p>\n

This would be a full summer novel going from start of summer to early September\/Labor Day. I like writing stories in that time period and could see this idea being one I would write sooner than other ideas.<\/p>\n
