Feisty criminal attorney Jessica Ford has done her best to
comply with the orders of the Secret Service’s unofficial
witness protection program ever since she became the lone
witness to the First Lady’s murder. Unfortunately, winning
her first high-profile case for a prestigious Washington,
D.C., law firm, subsequently landing her face all over the
news, is not exactly “keeping a low profile.” Or so says
hunky Secret Service agent Mark Ryan, whose newest
assignment is keeping her safe at all costs. It just so
happens he’s also her ex-boyfriend.
The trial earns Jess a permanent spot on the firm’s legal
defense team, replacing an associate who eloped and never
came back. But Jess’s mind has raced from the moment the
prosecution’s star witness shocked the courtroom with a
revelation involving the handsome son of a powerful U.S.
senator. Was the pretty young mother intimidated into
changing her story on the stand? Why won’t she return Jess’s
calls? Did Jess’s predecessor really just abandon her
successful career? Or did both women mysteriously disappear?
After Mark rescues Jess from an attack outside her
apartment, she begins to consider the possibility that she
is a target. Maybe it’s not so bad to have her irresistibly
charming and hard-bodied former lover around for protection.
The question is, which of the many inadvertent enemies Jess
has made recently is he protecting her from? The
investigation leads her to some startling coincidences — and
to a teenage runaway who may just hold the missing link...if
Jess can find her.
