Close to You ISBN: 0425214508
February 2007
Secret Service Agent CJ Ludzecky is assigned to the coveted Vice Presidential
Protection Division, guarding the Second Lady of the United States

never expected to fall for an uptight, by-the-book
Secret Service agent.
The invasion of the
press, a hostage situation involving the Vice President, a former
gang member who hasn't forgotten the Second Lady shut her posse down
two years ago, and a kidnapping attempt on the Second Son all move
the story--and CJ and Aidan's relationship--to a stunning conclusion.
