At the beginning, we're dealing with a shooting. Liz's sister has been shot and the husband that she has just left is the main suspect. When he is cleared, it starts to look like Liz was the main target. Being a federal judge, she is put under the protection of the U.S. Marshals, specifically, Jake.
Jake doesn't enjoy the prospect of watching over his best friend's wife. His friend died a few years ago, and he thinks that Liz was not a supportive wife at all. As they come to know each other a little better, it starts to become clear that he may have been misled.
Once they notice that they are beginning to have feelings for each other, they both come to the conclusion that the murderer needs to be caught before they can explore their feelings further. Jake is under a lot of pressure to get the case solved and Liz wants to get back to her life.
This was a good book. I was a little peeved at the fact that both Liz and Jake had a previous spouse that had died. For some reason, it bothers me that it becomes a convenient way to give people a background and make them available at the same time. I'm just a hopeless romantic and I don't necessarily like the whole idea of killing off spouses. Personal preference.
There are two more books in this series: Deadly Pursuit and Lethal Legacy. The latter is available August 1, 2012. If more of this author's books pop up for free, I'll pick them up, but I don't plan on tracking them. Good Book!
