Robards shifts genres expertly, from historical to romance to suspense, all the while producing clever women's fiction that sets her apart from the pack. In Pursuit, Robards gives us a gripping tale set in the high stakes world of national politics, where power is paramount.
This chilling mystery features Jessica Ford, a rookie lawyer whose boss is the personal attorney to the First Lady of the United States. Late one night, Jessica is sent to pick up the First Lady in a hotel bar, where she is pounding shots of whiskey despite the hordes of press waiting outside. Minutes later, a horrific crash kills the First Lady and the driver, leaving Jessica as the sole survivor. Was this an accident, or an attempt on her life?
Mark Ryan, the agent in charge of the late First Lady's detail, interrogates Jessica and is the only person who believes her to be in danger. Feeling guilty over the death of the First Lady while she was under his watch, Mark is determined to find out what happened.
As details of the crash and its immediate aftermath creep back, Jessica knows she has reason to be afraid: the wreck was no accident. She has no alternative but to turn to Mark Ryan for protection. He's the only person left to trust… but can she trust him?
