For Her Protection (Silhouette Intimate Moments No. 1320)

Great Story with action - a chase - gunfire - mystery - suspense - evil doer. On the run - agent, Luke Gianetti's day was not progressing well, he is on the run with a bullet in his butt. Jillian Moseby has just picked up and is traveling to New Hampshire with her two nephews and little niece when this stranger slids into her car. She almost has hysterics, he is not aware of the children. She has 6 year old James, 3 year old Samuel and little 4 month old Sarah asleep in the back of the loaded down car. I had to laugh when James insisted in seeing Luke's wound "in his ass" - what a hilarious run on language. Jillian was from England. Luke decides to take Jillian and the kids to a safe-house in Charlston then she gets them lost. Later they hear on the news that the safe house blows up. WOW! The story is set at a neat pace of on the run, including his protection of her and the kids, not knowing who is the real evil and wondering who is wanted dead not alive. The children are great supporting characters to an inexperienced aunt and a man who will not commit after losing his wife. This is another story Jilly has to find out about. Yet the attractions almost blows them away - and then Murphy, Luke's partner shows up. Luke wants to use Murphy as a buffer between himself and Jilly. Oh yes, she apparently has a few secrets that she neglects to tell Luke about. Luke is bound and determined to protect Jilly and the children even with his life. Boy does it get interesting. Gun shots, a bit of mayhem and Jilly gets in her shots. [And Luke is apparently not shooting blanks.] Definitely Recommended -M
