Captain's Log, Stardate 08.17.2011
My editor has asked for title ideas for the second book in my Protection for Hire series, so I’m polling you guys for ideas!
Here’s the short blurb:
A Christian ex-yakuza bodyguard must work with the Louisiana lawyer who helped sentence her to jail to protect a contestant from a nationally televised singing competition who has information that the show is rigged.
Here’s a longer blurb:
Tessa Lancaster, niece of the San Francisco Japanese mafia boss, became a born-again Christian while in prison for a murder she didn’t commit, and now that she’s released, she wants to use her unique skills to help people as a bodyguard while keeping her distance from her yakuza connections. So far, she has refused help from her yakuza boss uncle because she wants to be legit.
She takes a job as bodyguard to a contestant on an American Idol-like singing competition and his thirteen year old daughter, who has discovered evidence that one of the producers is involved in gambling and possibly rigging the show.
Tessa reluctantly asks for help from Charles Britton, a lawyer who, unknown to Tessa, is being paid by her yakuza boss uncle on her behalf. Tessa also has the feeling she’s being watched and she receives an email supposedly from her father, who had mysteriously abandoned her family when she was ten.
Family mayhem and dark secrets will come out as Tessa learns about the power of prayer in her new life in Christ.
Camy here: Ideally, I’d like the new title to have the same “X for Y” pattern as Protection for Hire.
Any ideas?
