Jenna Mill's pens magic

Miranda Carrington likely never cared for the song "Me and My Shadow". For her, the words had a different connotation. A shadow was her perpetual bodyguard that dogged her every step. Miranda was the free spirit, the youngest of the Carrington children, and ever since the death of Katrina, the eldest daughter of Senator Carrington, she'd been forced to live under the watchful eyes of her paid protector...the whole time itching for the elusive taste of freedom. For a fleeting moment, she thought she caught the wonderful feeling. In a blond wig, living in a small town in Portugal, she felt "normal"... just like everyone else. Then he spoke to her shattering the illusion. Alessandra Vellenti, heir the Vellenti Vineyards died five-years before, died in a horrible bomb-blast that claimed his two best friends. Now only Sandro exists. And Sandro is a man who does what he must. He does the balancing act upon the tightrope, so deep undercover he fears he may as well be dead as everyone believes him to be. A man serving two masters. He is sent by the "guys in the white hat" to protect Miranda Carrington. The son of General Viktor Zhukov was captured crossing from Canada to the US, and Miranda father claims he will stand trial for his crimes. Only Viktor sees Miranda as a pawn, a hostage to be traded for his son. Sandro has sent five years in hell trying to get close to Zhukov, and handing Miranda to the evil dictator would be the ticket. Miranda is attacked to the handsome stranger who approaches her on that sunny afternoon. But soon, she discovers, in the same instant, her supposed freedom is a myth as she spots her bodyguard rushing toward her. Suddenly, he is gunned down and Sandro is pushing her to run. So begins a chase, with Sandro dragging Miranda across Portugal one-step ahead of those chasing them. Despite her growing desire for the dark and deadly Sandro, is he her savior or her capture? Jenna Mills gives you a dancer on the razor's edge, in a pulse-pounding story, the first of the Carrington children's tales.

A fast paced edge of your seat thriller

Wow what a fabulous read. Great action and sizzling sexual tension as Miranda Carrington flees for her life with a commanding stranger, Sandro, who saves her from death or worse at the hands of a viscous crime lord. These two are on the run, and not sure who to trust in a world of cross and double cross as the story races to a climax. Couldn't put it down, this one is a roller coaster ride from start to finish.
