        Jessica Ford is a young lawyer trying to rise in a powerful Washington, D.C., law firm. Her life gets thrown for a loop when she gets into a car accident that kills the first lady. Jessica wakes in the hospital to find someone trying to kill her as well—tipping her off that the crash wasn’t just an accident and she never should have survived it. In steps Secret Service agent Mark Ryan, the head of the first lady’s security detail. As bodies start piling up around Jessica, she and Mark have no one to turn to except each other, and as the conspiracy begins to point to some very high places, the duo begin to realize the key to saving their lives is locked away in Jessica’s memories. Jessica and Mark make a superb team, and even if their romance feels tacked on and the big twist contrived, Robards’s fans will enjoy this fast-paced and action-packed romantic thriller.

        Jessica Ford is a smart, quiet, and ambitious young lawyer working for one of the largest firms in Washington, D.C. Her boss, John Davenport, is a high roller in politics andgood friends with the First Lady, Annette Cooper. When he cant make it to a bar where Annette is hiding from her Secret Service detail, he calls Jess and sends her over to bundle Annetteinto a cab. The next thing Jess knows, shes the sole survivor of a fiery car crash. As the country mourns the First Lady, Jess begins to think the car crash was a cover-up for more than just a drug deal. Suddenly she and Secret Service agent Mark Ryan are on the lam and unsure of whom they can trust. Everyone they know is a suspect, and Jess cant rely onanyone, not even Mark, as they try to evade the government agents on their tail who have only one goal: to make sure Jess keeps her mouth shut. Who can Jess turn to, and how far up does this conspiracy go? A tense and erotic political thriller sure to be as popular as Robards previous novels.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2009, American Library Association.)
