GUARDING THE FIRST DAUGHTER
Stopping to pick up a file late at night, former president’s daughter Kayla Harris discovers her law office has been ransacked—and the culprit is still there. But undercover Secret Service agent Conner Thorne comes to her rescue, and he knows exactly who is after her...just not why. Conner and Kayla go way back to their time in the White House when she was the rebellious first daughter and he was the rookie who saved her neck. Now Conner will put his life on the line again to keep Kayla away from the mobster he’s investigating. And it’s about much more than his job, because this time the woman he’s sworn to protect is also the woman who’s claimed his heart.
I’m so glad you’ve embarked with me on this new series! I’m looking forward to seeing more into the lives of the men and women who are Secret Service agents.
Conner and Kayla had a history, one that was at times a joy and at times a pain to delve into. None of us want to hide our true feelings because circumstances don’t allow us to express them, but that is what they had to do. It was wonderful to craft a story where God got the credit for bringing them back together.
I praise and thank Him for the ways He has done that in my life, and my prayer is that He will show you ways He’s shown His mighty hand in your life.
If you want to tell me about it, feel free to email [email protected]. I would love to hear the story. You can also contact me through my website at www.authorlisaphillips.com and sign up for my newsletter while you’re there!
May God richly bless you.

“How close are you to finishing this undercover assignment?” Kayla asked.
“We’re weeks away from making an arrest. I’m only missing the last piece of the puzzle, and I can put this whole thing to bed.”
Kayla blew out a breath. “Conner, this is huge.”
“And I don’t want you getting caught in the middle of it. I don’t know what Andis wants with you. All I know is that it won’t be good. I’ll protect you if I can, but if you even suspect you’re in danger you call the sheriff. Understand?”
Kayla nodded. “Of course. I just...wish there was a way to help.”
Conner took two steps toward her. “I don’t want you anywhere near Andis.”
Being here with her, knowing that Kayla knew the truth of the man he’d been pretending to be for months, Conner felt right for the first time since...he didn’t know. Maybe since that night ten years ago when Kayla had been in trouble and he’d saved her from what that man had planned.
He wouldn’t leave her side until he knew she was safe.

I’m so thankful to God for inspiring me with another idea for a series. I hope you all enjoy reading them as much as I’ll enjoy writing these Secret Service books!
