Under Surveillance
PLAYING BODYGUARD TO A SPOILED HEIRESS HAD BECOME A DANGEROUS ASSIGNMENTPhoenix Brotherhood agent John Edmonds's job was on the line. He had one last chance to prove he was a team player. His mission: go undercover and keep Kelly Lockett, heir to a charitable foundation with suspected involvement in terrorism, under surveillance. Kelly's brother had recently been killed in a suspicious "accident," and it appeared that whoever had murdered him was now after Kelly. Between John's unexpected attraction for the beautiful heiress and the attempts on her life, the operation was quickly becoming more than the simple surveillance job John had anticipated. And as the desperate struggle for their lives began, could John and Kelly unravel the truth before time ran out…?

This wasnât about the Phoenix or an assignment or surveillance
This was only about a woman whose hands clung to him as she trembled beneath him. A woman who whispered his name, even in the throes of her own fulfillment. A woman who matched him movement for movement until they climaxed together, clinging to one another like two lost souls.
Finally the sexual storm passed, leaving John again too drained to move. Only then did he realize that the dynamics of what heâd been sent here to do had been inevitably changed by what had just happened between them. Like it or not, Kelly Lockett was no longer just the sister of the man he had been sent to investigate.
Innocent bystander or in it up to her neck, she was also a woman to whom he had just made love. And he knew that would have an impact on every other decision heâd make during the course of this assignment.

CAST OF CHARACTERS
Kelly LockettâShe had inherited the charitable foundation her dead brother had founded. The only trouble was she had inherited his enemies, as well.
John EdmondsâA former NSA agent, the Phoenix newcomer had wanted a real case, something he could get his teeth into. He hadnât been prepared for the high society lady who went with it.
Griff CabotâGriff never expected the minor assignment heâd given the one Phoenix agent he doubted to rock the foundations of Washington and possibly the country.
Catherine SuttleâThe ultimate Beltway insider, Catherine knew everybody in D.C. who mattered. Did she hold the key that would unravel the mystery of the secret organization known as The Covenant?
Bertha ReynoldsâShe had warned Chad Lockett that the charitable foundation heâd built was in trouble, but he hadnât seemed interested. Had that misjudgment cost him his life?
Mark DanielsâCast into the role of big brother by Chadâs death, Mark wanted a very different relationship with Kelly. How far was he willing to go to arrange that?
Hugh DonaldsonâNo one knew more about the dealings of the Legacy than its chief financial officer. The real question was what else he might know.
