Fatal Judgment

Fatal Judgment by Irene Hannon, 330 pages

 

Jake Taylor is a U.S. Marshall assigned to Federal Court Judge Elizabeth Michaels after her sister was killed in what may have been an attempt on her life.  The FBI and the Marshalls are trying to figure out who was behind the shooting while Liz is kept in protective custody.  Liz is actually the widow of Jake's best friend from college.  Jake had been under the impression that Liz had not been a very good wife to his friend and may have even been indirectly responsible for his death.  After meeting her again though, Jake is being forced to revise his opinion and thinks he may even be falling in love with Liz and the feeling may be mutual.  If they can manage to keep Liz alive, perhaps their love could have a chance.  Hannon's books are formulaic but she's a pretty good writer so the story is still pretty compelling.  These are for people who like Christian suspense romance.
