Her Honor’s Bodyguard, by Johnny Ray
Do first loves ever really die? While reunions can take many forms, there is always one question that has to be answered sooner or later -- what happened?
Vance had always been extremely proud of Noella, and just because his life had been ruined, he saw no reason why she had to have the same faith. When his dad died, leaving him and his mother penniless, he dropped out of law school and ended his relationship with Noella, but in doing so, he stopped a scandal that could have ruined her family. These secrets he would never let her know. Ironically, years later, he would have never guessed she would be instrumental in ruining his career with the Tampa police force.
After Noella finished law school and started pursuing her goal of working up the ranks in judgeships, she never considered inviting another guy into her life. As such, when someone attempts to threaten her into vacating her seat on the bench, and by force if necessary, she knows of no one else she really trusts as much as Vance, who now has a successful bodyguard and private detective business.
She knows that Vance might hate her for her part in having him dismissed from the police force, but what he will never know is that she actually saved him from going to prison. Additionally, she now thinks he was framed, and perhaps by the same people who are threatening her. She had to talk him into taking her on as a client ... but would he agree to her request?
As the number of attacks on her life increases, Vance soon has no choice but to offer her his protection, and in spite of everything, when they see each other again, their old attraction for each other returns. She wants the truth. He wants the truth. However, making the ultimate sacrifice is not always easy to understand, whether given or received. Ultimately ... could they now trust each other with these secrets? While their lives depend on discovering the truth to their past, these truths are locked in deep secrets that could also destroy them.

ReplyDeleteYes, I do.
ReplyDeleteI dont beleive in true love
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if there is such a thing as true love.
ReplyDeleteI for sure believe in true love, even love at first sight....
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't believe in it, because I've never been in love.
ReplyDeleteLonerwor@aim.com
Not 100% believe.
ReplyDeleteI do to an extent, but I also believe that all of us could have more than just one "true" love and that even when we find one, making that love last takes work and effort!

ReplyDeleteI do,sort of but after an abusive marriage you become a bit cynical about these things.
ReplyDeleteIn a way.
ReplyDeleteI believe in true love and I believe that you often find it when you are not seeking it.
ReplyDeleteYes very much so
ReplyDeleteI would like to say yes, but I've always had a really hard time really loving anyone...so Im gonna go with no
ReplyDeleteNo, not really :)
ReplyDeleteIt's rare, but I think it's possible for some people.
ReplyDeleteYes, yes, yes.

ReplyDeleteYes, I do believe in true love. It doesn't happen often enough. I envy those who seen to have found true love.
ReplyDeleteJFWisherd at aol dot com
I believe in true love to a point. I belive that real love takes hard work to maintain the bonds between two people with everything that life throws at us.
ReplyDeleteYeah, or at least you can believe it at the time - but I suppose that it has to work out later on, otherwise, it's just like 70per cent of the country, ending in divorce. abrennan09@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteOf course!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance.

Yes, I believe.
ReplyDeleteYes I believe in true love and have found it in my husband
ReplyDeleteI certainly do - my late husband and I loved each other fully and completely and not a day goes by that I do not miss having him with me. He was the love of my life.
ReplyDeleteYes I believe in true love.
ReplyDeleteYes I believe in true love. I just think too many people are not willing to do the work necessary to make to make a lasting relationship
ReplyDeleteNo. Relationship is finding some good and some bad and being able to tolerate someone for a period of time.
ReplyDeleteI've been married for 22 years with plenty of ups and downs and yes I believe in true love
ReplyDeleteI do believe in true love, but I'll never find it. I've been married ALMOST 12 years now, but it feels like we are nothing more than roommates. I wish I could of found true love, but I guess it wasn't in the cards for me.
ReplyDeleteof course.
ReplyDeleteI DO BELIEVE IN TRUE LOVE BIT I THINK THE SUDDEN KIND IS RARE. I BELIEVE TRUE LOVE CAN BE ATTAINED IF TWO PEOPLE WOORK AT IT AND DEVELOP IT OVER TIME.
ReplyDeleteyes I beleive in true love I am married to my soul mate for sure thanks for the chance
ReplyDeleteyes I do.just don't think I will ever find it.
ReplyDeleteI do, but I don't think it's what people think they're looking for. It's finding that person who becomes your best friend, you have never felt jealousy with, is of equal intelligence, can make you laugh, and above all, makes you feel safe just knowing you have him/her.
ReplyDeleteYes I do believe in true love!
ReplyDeleteYes, I do.

ReplyDeleteYes I believe in true love. I'm still married to my "true love" for nearly 31 years!!!
ReplyDeleteI do believe in it but I dont think its always as simple as falling for each other and being together forever.
ReplyDeleteJennifer Harriman
I do believe in true love but one has to be open and perceptive in order recognize it when it does come along. I also believe that once you find it you have to be willing to put in the time and effort to make it lasting.
ReplyDeleteI believe in true love and it happens when you least expect it!
ReplyDeleteYes, I do believe in true love.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I do believe in true love.
ReplyDeleteI do believe in true love.
ReplyDeleteno i don't beleive
