In this bestselling work of romantic suspense, a Secret Service agent must untangle both a deadly conspiracy and her complicated feelings for an ex-lover. The misogyny in the office and an ill-advised affair with her boss, Ezra Puff Lapufsky, impelled Quinn Star to leave the FBI. She painstakingly makes a new life for herself, teaching law at Georgetown and becoming engaged to another man. Suddenly, Puff reenters Quinn's life and offers her the job she's always dreamed about: an assignment with the Secret Service protecting the First Lady, who is threatened by a plot against the White House.
