While attending a diplomatic dinner, two diplomats suddenly collapse. Viv is put on a task force with Jacob Cruz, security for the diplomatic corps. They don’t hit it off right away but they soon learn to trust each other. They are pitted against formidable foes and things ratchet up the closer they get to the truth. The romance is there but light and with a promise of more to come for Jacob and Viv.
Written with expertise on the inner workings of Washington D. C. agencies, this is a top notch, suspenseful novel. While not overdone, the faith thread is underlying. The protagonists are principled and Christians. “There is no doubt in my mind. The God I worship is bigger than any of this.”

BackCover Blurb:
Trapped in a dangerous game, can she counter the enemy's deadly power play?
When Vivian Steele, an attorney at the State Department, witnesses two
ambassadors collapse as if poisoned at a diplomatic dinner in
Washington, DC, she is recruited to be a member of a joint FBI task
force assigned to investigate. But she soon finds her by-the-book ways
clashing with a special agent in the Diplomatic Security Service, Jacob
Cruz. A former Navy SEAL and in charge of the event's security, Jacob
takes the attack personally and is driven to act quickly, unhampered by
rules and regulations.
As Viv starts to work her diplomatic
sources, her past as a State Department lawyer comes back to haunt her,
and secrets held tightly by the government thrust her into a web of
danger. Afraid, she turns to the one man bent on protecting others. But
can she accept Jacob's reckless ways as exactly what she needs to stay
alive and to discover the truth behind the attacks?
