In a dangerous world, everyone needs protection. No one suspects that a teenager could protect someone – by Connor Reeves is no ordinary 14-year-old. He’s a bodyguard, a martial arts expert trained in surveillance, hostage survival and unarmed combat. When he’s summoned to protect the President’s daughter, his skills face the ultimate test. Alicia doesn’t want to be guarded. She just wants to have fun. With no clue that Connor is her bodyguard, she tries to escape the Secret Service and lead him astray. But unknown to her and Connor a terrorist sleeper cell has been activated. Its mission: to take the President’s daughter hostage.<\/p>\n
