Lindsay Hall is a drug addict and an alcoholic. She has
alienated herself from her family after several stints in
various rehab facilities. She has publicly embarrassed both
herself and those who care about her more times than anyone
can count. But one thing distinguishes her from every other
addict -- she's the daughter of the Vice President of the
United States of America.
Special Agent Meghan Connors has always dreamt of being
assigned to protect the President. And the opportunity to
do so is within reach. But before she can think about that,
the Vice President has personally requested her for a
special assignment. Lindsay is in need of protection while
she works on her recovery on a ranch in Texas, as some
people have been directly threatening her safety. Meghan
will be working under Special Agent in Charge Ash Zinders,
who has a reputation for being critical, tough, and biased
against female agents.
While on the ranch, not only must Meghan concentrate on
protecting Lindsey's safety, helping the rehab efforts, and
changing Ash's mind about her abilities, but shortly after
arriving strange things start happening that make the team
(there are four other agents besides Meghan and Ash) wonder
if the person(s) involved in the security threats are either
at the ranch or being fed information from inside. If there
is a leak, is it an agent, or one of the long-time ranch
workers?
This was an exciting book that grabbed my attention
immediately. Not only was it an exciting mystery, but it
also gave an intriguing look into the life of a Secret
Service agent. Meghan's character was well-written. She's
a strong, smart character who is multi-dimensional, and the
chemistry between her and Ash is fun to read. She also has
a great relationship with Lindsey, and when the reason for
the Vice President's personal request is made clear, it
makes Meghan an even more likable character.
The mystery itself was intriguing and taut. It kept me
guessing until the very end. And when the agents went into
action, the writing was such that it I literally flipped the
pages faster, not able to read quickly enough. I also
enjoyed the theme of redemption that ran throughout the
book. It's a theme that most can identify with, and it was
most fitting for this plot. Altogether, this book was
highly enjoyable for the characters, the mystery, and the
romance that was woven within.
Special Agent Meghan Connors’ dream of one day protecting the president of the United States is about to come true. Only one assignment stands in her way. After the vice president’s rebellious daughter is threatened, Meghan is assigned to her protective detail on a secluded ranch in West Texas. Unfortunately, working with Special Agent in Charge Ash Zinders may be as tough as controlling her charge. Ash has a reputation for being critical and exacting, and he’s also after the same promotion as Meghan. But when the threats escalate and security on the ranch is breached, it becomes clear this isn’t the work of a single suspect—it’s part of a sophisticated plan that reaches deeper and higher than anyone imagined. And only Ash and Meghan can put the pieces together before it’s too late.
