Norma Budden - An Affair to Remember
From Amazon:
The man had been granted one mission in life: to protect Monica Townsend,
at any cost. As a result, he had lived in the shadows for twenty years,
recording every move she made without her knowledge.
He knew Monica enjoyed her simple existence as a fiction author and editor
but, despite being happy at her success, he wished she had something beyond the
fiction worlds she lived in. Little did he realize that her sheltered life would be thrown
into a tailspin within a matter of moments - that she would be held at gunpoint and
kidnapped as she prepared to leave her office during the early evening hours.
Hours later, the word on the street was that Officer Chase Travers had
rescued Monica and refused to leave her side. However, this was no time to hope
for Cupid to strike its arrow because, though a devoted cop, Chase Travers
was also a family man.
The man from the shadows was no fool; he knew dark forces were at work,
that danger would now lurk around every corner, in every shadow. Someone was
after Monica and, as far as anyone knew, Chase was her only ally.
Even so, the enemy was getting closer as each second passed.
The man hoped to leave the shadows and begin his life anew but it might not
be possible; he might have to give up his own dream, paying the ultimate price so
that Monica could live hers. Would it come to that? With tears in his eyes, though
willing to die, he prayed it would not be so.
An Affair to Remember is filled with fast-paced action, suspense and
intrigue as the reader is sucked in. Twists and turns keep them guessing
until the last page has been read.
