His Touch

When a string of deadly warnings convinces Dallas mayor Jessica Kincaid that she needs a bodyguard, she hires Brant Harding. The former secret service agent takes the job for one very personal reason.

As their personal agendas intersect, Jessica and Brant find themselves at odds, yet drawn to each other with a passion neither can deny. But the threat to Jessica’s life has intensified—and it’s coming from within the power structure of the city itself. Even Brant’s best efforts may not be enough to save her, or to buy them both a second chance.

If you enjoy contemporary romance within a suspenseful atmosphere then this is the book for you.
When I finished the novel, I read the author's background.
"Mary Lynn Baxter was born on 28 July 1943 in Lufkin, Texas, USA, where she bred, home of the cowboy - hero of the Western romance, which is one of the most popular of the category's sub-genres. She would be the first to say that it's her background that gives her a unique feel for romance writing.
Since she was a young girl, books and reading have been an important part of her life. Only after she read all the "goodies" in her public library did her mother encourage her to buy Harlequin romances, then 35 cents each."
My comment would be that it is easy to understand the author's show more heritage from Harlequin romance reading to the heroes of the Western romance where there is a character within the story that will pursue his every intention whether in a professional or personal setting with honesty, integrity, and intelligence all the while being the most handsome character that would be most daring to the female damsel in distress. show less
