There is the movie star�s assistant�efficient and reserved, with a sadness underneath that makes McGee feel he�d brave any danger to help her.
�John D. MacDonald is a shining example for all us in the field. Talk about the best.��Mary Higgins Clark

Further complicating matters, Travis and Dana�s relationship soon turns steamy. And just when he thinks he knows exactly where things are headed, one big twist shakes McGee�s life to the very foundation.
