Justice

New York Times bestselling author Karen Robards is back with an exhilarating romantic thriller that will leave readers breathless.

Feisty criminal attorney Jessica Ford has done her best to comply with the orders of the Secret Serviceâ€™s unofficial witness protection program ever since she became the lone witness to the First Ladyâ€™s 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 â€œkeeping a low profile.â€ Or so says hunky Secret Service agent Mark Ryan, whose newest assignmentâ€”despite Jessâ€™s stubborn protestsâ€”is keeping her safe at all costs. It just so happens heâ€™s also her ex-boyfriend.

The trial earns Jess a permanent spot on the firmâ€™s elite legal defense team, replacing an associate who eloped suddenly and never came back. Itâ€™s the chance of a lifetime. But Jessâ€™s mind has raced with questions from the moment the prosecutionâ€™s 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 Jessâ€™s calls? Did Jessâ€™s ambitious predecessor on the case really just abandon her successful career? Or did both women mysteriously disappear?

After Mark rescues Jess from an attacker outside her apartment, she begins to consider the possibility that she is a target. Maybe itâ€™s not so bad to have her irresistibly charming and hard-bodied former lover around for protection. Maybe. The question is, which of the many inadvertent enemies Jess has made recently is he protecting her from? The investigation leads her to some startling coincidencesâ€”and to a teenage runaway who may just hold the missing link . . . if Jess can find her.

As Jess hurtles closer to the truthâ€”and the sexual tension between her and Mark grows hotter than everâ€”she finds herself in a race against the clock to find the answers before what she doesnâ€™t know gets them both killed.
