From the acclaimed author of the Pierce Hunt series comes a thrilling
novel featuring a Secret Service agent who takes on a ruthless foe to
protect the country he serves and the woman he loves.
Former air force combat rescue officer Special Agent Clayton White now
works for the Secret Service performing routine escort missions for
politicians. These missions may not be quite as exciting as his time in
the military, but Clayton's okay with that. It gives him more time to
see his girlfriend, Veronica Hammond--an archaeologist who also happens
to be the vice president elect's daughter.
But Clayton's seemingly manageable new routine takes a startling turn
when South African mercenaries target Veronica at an awards gala
celebrating her work. After this attempt on Veronica's life, Clayton
enters a complicated web of lies, betrayal, and dangerous government
secrets.
As Clayton gets closer to the truth, he encounters unexpected foes
pitted against questionable allies. With enemies at every turn, the only
constant Clayton can rely on is Veronica. But when the threat against
her turns on him, too, he faces an impossible choice: love or country.
