SynopsisNew 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 Service's unofficial witness protection program ever since she became the lone witness to the First Lady'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 "keeping a low profile." Or so says hunky Secret Service agent Mark Ryan, whose newest assignment--despite Jess's stubborn protests--is keeping her safe at all costs. It just so happens he's also her ex-boyfriend. The trial earns Jess a permanent spot on the firm's elite legal defense team, replacing an associate who eloped suddenly and never came back. It's the chance of a lifetime. But Jess's mind has raced with questions from the moment the prosecution'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 Jess's calls? Did Jess'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 it'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 coincidences--and to a teenage runaway who may just hold the missing link...if Jess can find her. As Jess hurtles closer to the truth--and the sexual tension between her and Mark grows hotter than ever--she finds herself in a race against the clock to find the answers before what she doesn't know gets them both killed., New York Times bestselling author Karen Robards is back with an exhilarating romantic thriller that will leave readers breathless.

As Jess hurtles closer to the truth--and the sexual tension between her and Mark grows hotter than ever--she finds herself in a race against the clock to find the answers before what she doesn't know gets them both killed., This book is about the losers of the Meiji Restoration and the supporters who promoted their legacy. Using sources ranging from essays by former Tokugawa supporters like Fukuzawa Yukichi to postwar film and "lost decade" "manga," Michael Wert shows how shifting portrayals of Restoration losers have influenced the formation of national history.
