In GUARDIAN RANGER, Veronica Lane needs help in finding her
brother Cale Lane, who has gone on a mission and hasn't
come back. He had always stopped to say goodbye to her, but
this time he didn't and just because he is a mercenary
doesn't mean she can't worry about him and do everything in
her power to find him.
Jasper Adams, an ex-Army Ranger and member of EOD (Elite
Operations Division) is in Whisky Ridge trying to figure
out how to get close to Veronica Lane, because he needs her
to find Cale Lane. Three members of EOD are dead and the
clues lead to Lane. He can't believe his luck when she
finds him in a bar and hires him to find Lane. Because they
were in the Army together, Veronica is sure he can help her
find out where her brother is. Almost immediately after
hiring Jasper, she is run off the road and two thugs try to
kidnap her. Instinct sends Jasper out to follow her and
he is glad he did. He is able to rescue her and with
another EOD agent, Gunner Ortez, pretending to be an FBI
agent they try to get the arrested men to talk but an
unexplained fire and explosion at the police station sends
everyone rushing out of the building. A snipers bullet
takes care of the would-be abductor's. The pro head shots
have Jasper and Gunner shaking their heads knowing it could
have been Cale.
Jasper lets Veronica know that the game has changed. Now he
is also her bodyguard and won't be leaving her side
anytime soon. If he could only tell her the truth, he'd be
more than glad to take advantage of the situation, but he
doesn't want to get physically involved when it's all based
on lies. The truth to the matter is he is very much
attracted to this warm intelligent girl, and sometimes the
body has a mind of its own.
GUARDIAN RANGER is another fascinating offering of the
Shadow Agents series. The interesting twists to the
plotline will keep the readers enthralled all the way to
the very much unforeseen ending. The side story of agents
Gunner Ortez and Sydney Sloan adds a second bit of spice to
the series and give readers hope for more books along this
line by Cynthia Eden.
"TRUST ME." The Last Chance bar was Veronica Lane's last hope. Desperate to find her missing brother, the sheltered computer programmer turned to Jasper Adams-the man she'd been warned to stay far away from. Veronica knew she was putting her life in the hands of the former Texas Ranger, who aroused desire she had to resist at all costs. Posing as a ruthless mercenary was a cover for what Jasper was really doing: hunting a killer. And Veronica was in the line of fire. The soldier-turned-elite-ops-agent knew he was playing a dangerous game-trying to win her trust while deceiving her about his true mission. What would happen once Veronica discovered that everything about him was a lie...everything except his passion for her?
