BOOK SYNOPSIS:
All Angela wants is to understand why her father, security specialist Mac McKenzie, dropped dead on a sidewalk in Boston. Instead, she is thrust into the midst of an international conspiracy when she discovers that her father was working on a classified project at the time of his death. Now, the FBI, a terrorist and a killer have her in their sights.
Former Navy SEAL turned undercover operative, Chase Romero thinks his boss is overreacting when he orders Chase to small town America to protect Angela. But he changes his mind when her home is burglarized and “accidents” begin to happen. The real question becomes, how can he keep her safe if he keeps tripping over his own heart?
After shooting an intruder, Angela flees the scene, and the FBI issues a warrant for her arrest. On the run for her life and her freedom, she places her trust in Chase. As they travel from New England, to the nation’s capital, to the shores of Lake Michigan, the trail – and their attraction – grow hotter. Together, they team up to prevent a global financial market meltdown and face a killer who will stop at nothing to get his hands on the project Mac protected with his life.

REVIEW:
First let me say this is the first book written by Johnson and I can not wait until the next book to come out! I was surprised how much I enjoyed this book!
Angela’s father recently died of what they are saying is a heart attack but Angela does not believe that. So many things seem suspicious about what was going on and when she starts getting threatening phone calls and too close for comfort accidents she thinks she may be right that something is going on. And she is going to find out what come hell or high water. Chase is asked by his boss to keep an eye on his God-daughter Angela. Chase is not thrilled at first but when he sees all the incidents taking place he has to wonder if maybe his boss was right to worry. When Chase feels like he has to do more than watch from afar he and Angela begin a journey towards answers and love.
Angela is a strong woman in life but when her life turns upside down she is not sure where she can pull the strength she needs from until she meets Chase. Chase is a self-proclaimed “dominant, aggressive and possessive man” and a ex Navy SEAL. Both characters are written really well. It does not take long to get wrapped up in this book. The story line is really interesting and I enjoyed every moment of it. The only reason I gave it 3 stars instead of 4 is there was a couple of things that just did not get finished in the storyline or was forgotten. (example: one chapter Angela has bruised ribs that she is babying while just walking and the next chapter the ribs are never mentioned again and she is running and being thrown around.) Also the epilogue has a very abrupt ending. I wanted another page or at least a paragraph or two more. But really I enjoyed this book very much. I hope Johnson plans on writing more and really hope the next book is Sean and Emily’s story (hint hint)!
