Het is de vooravond van zijn bruiloft, en Harrison Trent is tot het uiterste gespannen. Zijn huwelijk is voornamelijk bedoeld om zijn aanstaande te beschermen, en ook al heeft hij al zijn - niet geringe - middelen ingezet om dat te doen, toch vreest hij voor haar veiligheid. Een onschuldig uitziend drankje op zijn vrijgezellenfeest wordt echter niet haar, maar hém fataal. Gedesoriënteerd en verward wordt hij wakker, naast een zeer aantrekkelijke vrouw die beweert zijn bodyguard te zijn - maar niet wil zeggen wie haar heeft ingehuurd...
Dani Sinclair was a 2008 RITA® finalist in the RITA®: Contemporary Series Romance: Suspense/Adventure category for her novel Midnight Prince. She was RITA finalist for her novel Better Watch Out, won a Romantic Times Magazine Reviewers’ Choice Award for Best Harlequin Intrigue of 2000 for The Specialist, and was nominated for a Career Achievement award for Series Romantic Suspense.
Ms. Sinclair and her husband reside outside Washington, D.C., where they share their home with four indoor cats, a small feral colony and the varied wildlife that passes through, stopping to feed at their bird feeders on a daily basis. They are active volunteers with a local animal rescue group and urge everyone to be responsible pet owners.
Millionaire Harrison Trent is kidnapped the night before his wedding to his best friend Zoe. Sounds romantic right? Well, in actuality best friends is as far as their relationship goes, but after watching her baby's daddy be killed right in front of her, Zoe and her baby need his protection.
Despite friends concerns, Harrison never saw anything negative about marrying Zoe and giving her baby his name. Until he met Jamie Bellman. As his feelings grow, he knows he can't marry Zoe, but until everything settles and he talks to her, he's still engaged and he doesn't allow himself to touch Jamie.
Jamie only helped kidnapped Harrison for a favor her adopted father asked of her. A man and his wife who saved her life when they took her in.
Yet when things go bad fast after she and 2 others have Harrison, she knows someone is working against her.
It was really surreal to watch a female be a bodyguard to a male. Jamie was great at what she did and most time Harrison didn't put up a ginormous fit about her risking her life for him, but that made me like him that he respected her career.
Finding multiple bodies leads them to Harrison's biological father, whom he's never seen and had hoped to continue never too, but his father's connection with the illegal side of the law seems like a good conclusion to seek.
His father turns out to not be the one they should have worried about. On his death bed, Victor DiMarko really does just want to meet his youngest son and now help in any way. It's his half siblings who have a problem with the 'Bastard' coming in and claiming their part of the inheritance.
Putting all that together they have the answer, but before actions are mad, Jamie is taken and reenforces his love for her. It takes Victor showing to control his out of control family and Jamie is safe.
Despite her hard childhood, Harrison has climbed over her defensive walls. He's shown her how to love again. Now, she can achieve her next dream with him by her side.
I really enjoyed reading this book. I read through some of the reviews and I see that people felt something was missing or they just couldn't get into the story. In order to understand this book you would have had to read Bodyguard to the Bride which introduces you to many of the characters in The Missing Millionaire.
Dani Sinclair is amazing and these books together are awesome.
Loved this book. Plenty of action and it only took me a couple of days to read it; just couldn’t put it down it was so good. The twist at the end was so unexpected I never guessed who was behind it all.
