Connor hardly slept all night. What reason could one of the most powerful leaders in the world have for selecting me to protect his daughter?

His martial arts skills couldn’t be the only justification. Jason was an equal match to him—in fact, Connor had learned that his rival had once been the Australian Junior Champion. There had to be another reason. But Connor couldn’t think what it was. Aside from his twelve weeks of training, he had no real-world experience of being a bodyguard, which worried him deeply. Connor wondered if it was a case of mistaken identity and the president actually believed he was choosing someone else.

But the colonel assured him that there’d been no mistake. He was to work alongside the US Secret Service, the Homeland Security department responsible for the protection of the first family. He would be reporting directly to its head, Dirk Moran, while maintaining a line of communication with the Guardian organization in the United Kingdom in case he needed additional support. His mission was to ensure the safety of the president’s daughter at all times, particularly in those instances when Secret Service agents couldn’t be immediately at hand. The threat level for the operation was deemed Category 1: Life-Threatening.

Connor’s mind whirled with the possibilities—angry mobs, long-range snipers, knife-wielding assassins, exploding car bombs . . . The danger list went on and on. And he was to be the hidden shield between those threats and the life of the president’s daughter. The sheer scale of the task ahead was almost paralyzing. He wondered if his father had ever felt like this before any of his assignments. Or did seasoned bodyguards get used to the pressure? Perhaps it was like a constant trickle of electricity running through their veins, so they felt, yet suppressed, their fears.

And Connor’s greatest fear was that he would fail. That at the moment of an attack he would react too late—or, worse still, not react at all.
