Fiction. Mystery. Romance. I quit my job. I walked away from everything I knew. I couldn't lose anyone else. Not again. Working for James Martin wasn't supposed to be complicated or lethal. Too bad someone wanted him dead, and I was the only thing standing in the way. When eccentric playboy CEO James Martin's life is threatened, he decides to hire Alexis Parker, an attractive, feisty, former federal agent, to be his new security consultant and personal bodyguard. As Alex attempts to navigate the minefield of potential suspects, she discovers an underlying conspiracy that has been brewing at Martin Technologies for almost half a decade. Anyone could be involved, making Martin's closest friends, acquaintances, and employees possible suspects. What starts out as a single death threat quickly morphs into a plot to overtake his entire company. Once the pieces fall into place, things explode, both literally and figuratively. This outwardly simple case is something neither Alex nor Martin ever imagined. It will take all of Alex's training and instincts to track down the criminal mastermind and stop the assassination plot before it's too late, and even that may not be enough.… (more)

Alexis Parker has been trained by the best, Mark Jablonsky at The Office of International Operations, but now she wants to go out on her own in order to avoid the red tape of working for such an organization. She is quickly hired by James Martin, who is a friend of Jablonsky, to provide personal security and investigate a recent series of incidents involving James and his company, Martin Technologies. When there is an explosion of a hot dog cart right outside Martin's company as he is leaving the office, Alexis is barely able to save him, so she steps up the investigation before Martin gets himself killed.

The premise of this story has been done extensively and better. Alexis seems like a poor excuse for an investigator, as she makes mistake after mistake and the local police are the ones who eventually solve the case. Her only real value is as arm candy for Martin since he seems so taken with her in a romance that never really takes off. The dialog in the book is over-the-top, cliched, and disappointing in a story where the climax seems more like a let down. Overall, this story, which came so highly recommended, was more like a waste of time. ( )
