Feisty criminal attorney Jessica Ford has done her best to comply with the orders of the Secret Services unofficial witness protection program ever since she became the lone witness to the First Ladys murder. She changed her name, dyed her dark hair blonde, and traded her sturdy black-rimmed glasses for contact lenses. Unfortunately, winning her first high-profile case for prestigious Washington, D.C., law firm Ellis Hayes, and subsequently landing her face all over the news, is not exactly keeping a low profile. Or so says hunky Secret Service agent Mark Ryan, whose newest assignmentdespite Jesss stubborn protestsis keeping her safe at all costs. It just so happens hes also her ex-boyfriend. The trial earns Jess a permanent spot on the firms elite legal defense team, replacing an associate who eloped suddenly and never came back. Its the chance of a lifetime. But Jesss mind has raced with questions from the moment the prosecutions star witness shocked the courtroom with an electrifying revelation involving the handsome son of a powerful U.S. senator. Was the pretty, young mother intimidated into changing her story on the stand? Why will she not return Jesss calls? Did Jesss ambitious predecessor on the case really just abandon her successful career? Or did both women mysteriously disappear?
