In Raleigh, Patrick O’Hara demands help from former Vice President
Kate Winston to find their missing granddaughter Shelby; who was taken from the
Beth City University library two weeks ago.
Kate and her three adult sons are stunned while the VP’s Secret Service
agent Daniel Henderson insures her safety.
Patrick explains that Kate gave up their daughter Carrie so he raised
her as a single dad. Daniel obtains
information from arrested disgraced agent D’Angelis. He and Kate’s son RPD officer Thad drive to
the house where Shelby is being restained.
Ignoring an inferno, Daniel runs inside and brings Shelby out; he stays
with her as his new assignment.
When Shelby learns she will receive 24/7 bodyguards, she refuses
until she finds out why she was abducted and why the Feds insist on protecting her
with agents. Kate remains in shock
because years ago her mom insisted the baby died in childbirth. Assigned to protect Shelby, Daniel struggles
to control his unprofessional attraction; Shelby recognizes her hero’s
reluctance battling his desire as she shares all the same feelings while coping
with her new found maternal family.
The latest delightful Adair Legacy romantic suspense (see Special Ops Rendezvous by Karen Anders, Executive Protection by Jennifer Morey and Her Secret, His Duty by Carla
Cassidy) is an exciting contemporary that sweetly wraps up the major
overarching threads. With a nod to the
relationship in the movie the First Daughter (sans comedy), Secret Service
Rescue is a well-written fun tale.
