Lucie Evans has been at odds with her boss, Sawyer
McNamara, for quite awhile, and apparently he is not about
to forgive her for the mistake they both made. She has
taken every trash job he has thrown at her, but she has
finally reached her limit. When she receives an offer to
be a personal bodyguard for Cara Bedell, a billionaire
heiress, she jumps at the chance to be as far away from
Sawyer as she can get. Her first real assignment takes her
to South America where Cara is trying to finalize a deal
with one of the two prominent oil companies. However,
things go terribly wrong, and Lucie is kidnapped and held
captive. She can only hope that Cara makes the right
decisions since the kidnappers luckily grabbed the wrong
person. Will Lucie be able to protect Cara's identity?
Will she ever be rescued?
Sawyer McNamara thought Lucie's leaving would help relieve
the guilt that he has felt all these years. Unfortunately,
nothing seems to help him forget the mistakes of the past.
When he learns that Lucie has been kidnapped, he knows that
he will personally head up the retrieval mission. He will
not trust anyone else with her. Even if they bring her to
safety, they will not be able to rest completely until the
man behind the kidnapping is caught. It seems that someone
wants Cara dead, and will stop at nothing to achieve their
desire. Being in close contact with Lucie again reminds
him of all that has been lost. Does he have the courage to
leave the past in the past and start over? Or will he push
away this last chance that he is being given?
Beverly Barton has written a marvelous romantic suspense.
This story concludes The Protectors series, yet it is the
first book that I have read in it. I was completely
engrossed in the story line, and I did not feel that I had
missed anything from not having read any of the other
books. This story is packed with action, suspense, and
lots of romance. There are a couple of secondary story
lines going on with romance aplenty. I loved the chemistry
and tension between Sawyer and Lucie, and the history
between them explains a lot. DYING FOR YOU is an excellent
story, and one that will take your breath away.
It was the job of her dreams... but it became her
worst nightmare...
All private security agent Lucie Evans wanted was a fresh
start--and the chance to show Sawyer McNamara, her ex-boss,
that she no longer craved his absolution for a crime she
didn't commit. So when the offer of a trip to South America
as the personal bodyguard to a billionaire heiress came up,
Lucie jumped at the prospect of leaving the Dundee Agency
behind. Then the nightmare began. Kidnapped in a case of
mistaken identity, suddenly Lucie's only hope of survival
rested with the one man she never wanted to see again...
Sawyer had spent years convincing himself that all he felt
for Lucie was contempt--but with her life at stake, he was
forced to face his true feelings. Though it may be a case of
too little, too late. Because Lucie's captor wouldn't rest
until she was silenced... once and for all.
