Crack CIA analyst Trista Gold is a whiz with the computer, but not so much with people. She hides behind her job, analyzing Top Secret code and making recommendations on national security. She doesn’t need a man in her life. But she will, very soon…
CIA K-9 officer Sgt. Matt Connors suspects that beneath Trista’s uptight appearance, there’s a sexy woman itching to cut loose. But he doesn’t … he doesn’t dare act on his attraction. He’s a loner and always will be. Keeping away from Trista is a must-do directive. Until he doesn’t have a choice…
During a routine assignment, Trista stumbles across a cryptic exchange. She doesn’t think much of it…until someone tries to murder her—twice. Both times, Matt had been there to save her. But now she has to hide. And her new bodyguard, Matt, and his K-9 are the only hope she has against the powerful forces that want her dead.

I loved this story and characters! Trista Gold is a socially awkward CIA analyst who is most comfortable with her computers and a few close work friends. She does not do well in social situations and has a fear of dogs that began when she was a child. There is a new security guard at the check-in entrance to the CIA and he is gorgeous…but he comes with a large, trained dog. Sgt. Matt Connors is former military and his love is his dog and his close circle of friends (can’t wait to read all of their stories!). While searching for possible threats to the United States, Trista has stumbled on to something that the Russians do not want known and her life is now in danger. She is fortunate that when she is attacked, Matt sees her attacker and rescues her. Will he be able to keep her safe? Will they be able to figure out what information she has that they are willing to kill for? A wonderful romantic suspense by Ms. O’Fallon. I have read and enjoyed every book that Ms. O’Fallon has written and each book seems to get better and better. A must read! I read this on my own and was not asked to submit a review, but loved the story so much that I wanted to let others know about this book and this author. (by paytonpuppy)
