Two Secret Service agents sworn to guard their protectees lost them in a single moment ... and the violence has only just begun in this #1 New York Times bestseller.

Michelle Maxwell has just wrecked her promising career at the Secret Service. Against her instincts, she let a presidential candidate out of her sight for the briefest moment and the man whose safety was her responsibility vanished into thin air.

Sean King knows how the younger agent feels. Eight years earlier, the hard-charging Secret Service agent allowed his attention to be diverted for a split second. And the candidate he was protecting was gunned down before his eyes. Now Michelle and Sean are about to see their destinies converge.

Drawn into a maze of lies, secrets, and deadly coincidences, the two discredited agents uncover a shocking truth: that the separate acts of violence that shattered their lives were really a long time in the making—and are a long way from over.

Everything was really good about this book, except unusual, annoying voice announcement for chapters. I enjoyed listening to the stories from this writer. This book was an exception so far.

Good story, very unusual announcements for chapter

I loved the characters, but the storyline was way overdone - too many twists, turns and characters that kept dropping out of the sky. At least the following books were a little more believable.
