Romance Suspense

Darcy Prescott is working for the U.S. Embassy at the Consulate office in Manila when a co-worker passes along some information; information that leads to Darcy getting kidnapped off the streets of Zamboanga. Taken by guerrillas, Darcy knows the only hope she has of getting out alive is the one man she walked away from, her ex-husband. Before she was kidnapped, Darcy managed to make a call to him and tell him that she thought she was in grave danger.

Ethan Garrett has known that there is only one woman out there for him since the moment he laid eyes on her at a U.S. Embassy party in Peru. He married Darcy soon after they met but their marriage fell apart. Now a highly trained bodyguard, Ethan assembles a rescue team to help rescue Darcy from her captors. Soon after he sees her, he realizes that the feelings he had for Darcy have never gone away and that he's still in love with her as much as he used to be. When they find out the reason behind Darcy's abduction and the length's people will go to silence her, Ethan knows he's the only one who can protect her and in doing so, get another chance at the love they lost.

TO THE BRINK is an explosive, run for you life, exhilarating read that'll have you at the edge of your seat. Ethan and Darcy are the perfect couple who have a painful past full of regrets. Their story will have you celebrating their happy moments and crying when things don't go as hoped. The third story in Cindy Gerard's Bodyguard series and this is a book that'll make you an instant fan. I couldn't read this book fast enough. Be sure to check out the other books in the series, TO THE EDGE and TO THE LIMIT.
