| Synopsis: |
Feisty criminal attorney Jessica Ford has done her best to comply with the orders of the Secret Service's unofficial witness protection program ever since she became the lone witness to the First Lady's murder. Unfortunately, winning her first high-profile case for a prestigious Washington, D.C., law firm is not exactly "keeping a low profile." Or so says hunky Secret Service agent Mark Ryan, whose newest assignment is keeping her safe at all costs. The trial earns Jess a permanent spot on the firm's legal defense team, replacing an associate who eloped and never came back. But Jess's mind has raced from the moment the prosecution's star witness shocked the courtroom with a revelation involving the handsome son of a powerful U.S. senator. Why won't she return Jess's calls? Did Jess's predecessor really just abandon her successful career? Or did both women mysteriously disappear? After Mark rescues Jess from an attack outside her apartment, she begins to consider the possibility that she is a target. The question is, which of the many inadvertent enemies Jess has made recently is Mark protecting her from? |
