Someone wants accountant Rebecca Linn--the granddaughter of a federal judge--dead, and it's Deputy US Marshal Kurt Brock's duty to figure out why and protect her. But her powerful family insists Kurt keep his relationship with Rebecca strictly professional ... no matter how much he's drawn to the feisty, fast-thinking beauty. Rebecca is sure the suspicious evidence she uncovered in her latest auditing case has put a target on her back. But staying ahead of those out to silence her is bringing her dangerously close to Kurt--and putting both their careers on the line. With the attacker closing in, can Rebecca and Kurt survive long enough to reveal the would-be killer's secrets?
