Liberty Investigations no “angel” Justine O'Neill cannot understand why her boss Sam Liberty would take on a job for Baron Industries owned by her late stepfather’s family; the same stepfather, Justine as the juvenile Jackie Conrad killed him for molesting her. Although the client that Sam expects her to protect is the CEO of Baron Industry he is not a Baron. Still she would prefer to let her two only friends and Angelic associates Charity Keone (See BARE FACTS) or Anna Sterling play bodyguard to Nigel Carter.
Justine, who trusts no man except barely Sam, and Nigel are attracted to one another from their first meeting. However, she is all professional trying to persuade him to leave his daughter Piper and her nanny Constance Wareham in the states rather than take her with him to the Amazon Basin where they are going accompanied by his new bodyguard. Waiting for them in Lima is Charity and Anna even as mercenaries target father and daughter. All hell breaks loose in South America when Piper is kidnapped.
The second Liberty Investigations homage to Charlie's Angels is an engaging romantic suspense that never slows down from the moment the plane lands in Lima. The story line is fast-paced and filled with plenty of action as the lead couple risks their lives to rescue his daughter. Although the romantic interludes after the abduction seem wrong, they are fascinating because of Justine’s total distrust of males and her sexual molestation as a child. Readers will enjoy this fine thriller with one more Angel’s tale for Katherine Garbera to “bare” with her fans.
