Bodyguard Arianna Jackson works for Guardians, Inc. She
witnessed the killing of a client's husband by Joseph
Rainwater, the very rich and influential head of an Alaskan
crime syndicate, and is in protective custody in a safe
house in the remote woods of Alaska awaiting his trial.
When Rainwater's thugs attack the cabin, only Arianna and
US Marshall Brody Callahan escape alive.
Brody believes someone in the Marshall's office is a mole
and they can't trust anyone. They hike through woods, swim
through river rapids and rappel the side of a mountain in
an effort to get to Fairbanks where Brody can get trusted
help. Though fugitives on the run, there is a connection
between Brody and Arianna. They understand each other, but
cannot act upon their growing physical attraction, since
Arianna will be going into a witness security program when
this ordeal is over. Will Brody be able to keep Arianna
safe until she can testify in Anchorage?
This is my second read of one of Margaret Daley's
Guardians, Inc. books. GUARDING THE WITNESS is a fast-paced
adventure that will not let you put it down. There is
suspense at every turn. Just when you think Arianna and
Brody are going to be safe, another distraction pops up to
keep you turning pages. This is a story about betrayal,
deception and trust; about needing others in your life you
can turn to for help and needing the Lord's help too.
Arianna and Brody rely on their skills, strength of
character and faith in God to face each trial they combat.
Both are learning forgiveness and trying to move on with
their lives. Daley's characters are true-to-life and her
plot is riveted with suspense. If you like a thriller,
mixed with some inspiration and a little romance, GUARDING
THE WITNESS is a great choice.
After two months of protective custody, bodyguard Arianna
Jackson is days away from testifying at a murder trial when
the unthinkable happens. Her Alaska safe house is attacked,
and Arianna is forced to go on the run with U.S. Marshal
Brody Callahan. Arianna is used to issuing orders, not
taking them, but now, out in the wild, with a bounty on her
head and a killer on her heels, she has only one hope of
making it to testify—the handsome protector at her
side.
