Used book – A Precious Mission; A Troubling Encounter, Rita Herron, Jean Brashear, B. Dufy, Christine Boyer

A Precious Mission: When a man - tall, dark, and charismatic, exactly as she had been told - opens the door for her, Alanna feels intensely relieved. Finally, she has found Eric Cadwell, the man she paid to protect her! Finally, after a wild chase marked by anguish and tears, she can rest. Simon, the four-month-old baby she took in, will be safe here, away from the criminals trying to kidnap him. Yet, when her interlocutor reveals his name is Cain Cadwell, it's a shock. His brother Eric has just been murdered by the very people pursuing her, he explains. And he now faces a cruel dilemma: send them back where they came from, Simon and her, or let them in, at the risk of putting himself in danger. A Troubling Encounter: JD is furious. How could he have been foolish enough to fall in love with Violet James? By posing as the new bodyguard of the young and famous Hollywood actress, he was supposed to only approach her best friend, suspected of being a drug trafficker. And not, in addition, become smitten with her and get entangled in his feelings! But that's the thing. By spending time with Violet day after day, he discovered a fragile young woman, far from the haughty and contemptuous star he had imagined. To the point that, as he closes his investigation, he dreads Violet's reaction: she has just confessed to him that he is the first man she has ever trusted, but she still doesn't know that he was forced to manipulate her.
