Determined to be an independent woman, Jillian Kincaid has never let her father influence her career as a television journalist, even after she receives multiple death threats. However, after her father hires bodyguard Nolan Garrett to scare her into taking his help, Jillian has no other recourse but to accept. Balancing her usual hectic schedule, along with Nolan's climb back into reality after his self-perceived failures, and trying to stay alive, Jillian doesn't realize that nothing can stop a person who's consumed with revenge.

TO THE EDGE, the first book in Gerard's new Bodyguard series, has a great plotline with superior characters and a detailed backstory. Instead of the stereotypical "I hate you/I love you" scenario so common with romantic suspense, Gerard allows the reader to understand the characters' perspectives in a realistic fashion. The storyline moves quickly from interesting subplot to interesting subplot with red herrings instead of dull spots.
