After her sister’s murder, Marissa knew there was only one person she could turn to no matter how much she regretted it; Archer Brant would be able to keep both her and her young niece safe.  Marissa and Archer were engaged once but she walked away because it was impossible to live with a special ops agent married to his job.  The past doesn’t matter now, Marissa has to make sure that no harm comes to her niece from her drug dealer father, Ruben, the man that killed her mother.

For a moment, Archer thought Marissa had returned to pick up the pieces of their shattered love; but whatever the reason, he could never turn her away.  Archer would do anything in his power to protect Marissa, even tracking down a dangerous drug lord.  The best laid plans don’t always work out however, and when Ruben gets his sadistic hands on Marissa, her life becomes one of torment and pain.  How can Archer forgive himself for losing Marissa again?  Will the two ever find their way back to each other?

This fast paced romantic thriller keeps your heart pumping and eyes reading, hoping that Marissa and Archer will find their light at the end of the tunnel. Tough, gritty, explicit and bold; award winning author Kimberly Van Meter drags her readers into the dark world of a psychopathic killer bent on torturing the heroine and keeping her from the man she loves.   Even when outwardly the characters have given up on a happily ever after, in their hearts they recognize the truth.   TRUSTING THE BODYGUARD is a very different offering from Kimberly Van Meter’s usual romance but it is definitely one that the reader will long remember.  Thank you Ms. Van Meter for a breathtaking finale to your Emmett’s Mill series.
