To the Edge

Romance Suspense

Determined to be an independent woman, Jillian Kincaid has never let her father influence her career as a television journalist, even after she receives multiple death threats. However, after her father hires bodyguard Nolan Garrett to scare her into taking his help, Jillian has no other recourse but to accept. Balancing her usual hectic schedule, along with Nolan's climb back into reality after his self-perceived failures, and trying to stay alive, Jillian doesn't realize that nothing can stop a person who's consumed with revenge. TO THE EDGE, the first book in Gerard's new Bodyguard series, has a great plotline with superior characters and a detailed backstory. Instead of the stereotypical "I hate you/I love you" scenario so common with romantic suspense, Gerard allows the reader to understand the characters' perspectives in a realistic fashion. The storyline moves quickly from interesting subplot to interesting subplot with red herrings instead of dull spots.

SUMMARY

THE FIRST RULE OF BODYGUARDS: The daughter of a wealthy businessman, Jillian Kincaid grew up with bodyguards shadowing her every more – and she hated it. Now a successful journalist and TV anchorwoman, she refuses to let another hired thug follow her around. Not even when begins to receive terrifying death threats. Not even when the bodyguard is the darkly handsome Nolan Garrett… NEVER FALL IN LOVE … Trained in Special Ops, Nolan Garrett has been hired by Jillian’s father to keep her out of danger. But it’s clear from the start that Jillian isn’t going to make his job easy. Far from the spoiled princess he expected, Jillian is tough, independent, sexy. And fighting him every step of the way. WITH THE WOMAN YOU’RE PROTECTING. As Jillian’s stalker raises the stakes, Nolan must keep her close if he wants to keep her alive. But being so close can only turn up the heat that’s been simmering between them – even as a deadly danger closes in.
