By Honor Bound

Micah Lassiter is hired to go under cover to protect a shy, wealthy heiress without her knowledge. Prudence Street is fighting for her hard-won independence from her over-protective father. If she gives her heart to her handsome neighbor, and learns the truth, will she feel betrayed? Does love rob a bodyguard of his edge against impending disaster? New York Times best-selling author Ruth Ryan Langan, who also writes under the pseudonym R. C. Ryan, is the author of over 100 novels, both contemporary romantic-suspense and historical adventure. Quite an accomplishment for this mother of five who, after her youngest child started school, gave herself the gift of an hour a day to follow her dream to become a published author.Ruth has given dozens of radio, television and print interviews across the country and Canada, and has been quoted in such diverse publications as THE WALL STREET JOURNAL and COSMOPOLITAN. Ruth has also been interviewed on CNN NEWS, as well as GOOD MORNING AMERICA. Lives -- and hearts -- are on the line when the Lassiters pledge to uphold the law at any cost.
