In his adult life Rhys Wielde is the CEO of the company he developed to merge computer technology and biology in such a way that will allow for positive human advancement. When Rhys learns that one of his hand selected employees is responsible for developing a dangerous new drug he joins the team of DEA investigators committed to identifying and punishing the guilty parties. It is through his work with the DEA that Rhys meets Skye, the DEA agent assigned to protect him. However, because Skye often relies on the use of secret identities in her work, it is not until several encounters that Rhys learns who she really is. As the two travel from state to state and country to country, they must trust and rely on one another for their own safety. Through their adventures they soon realize that their attraction to one another cannot be denied.

DECEPTION'S GUARD has a hearty portion of adventure coupled with plenty of romance. The author's vivid descriptions of the various settings of the book bring the locations and their respective culture alive. While the adventure aspects of the book kept the story going, I found myself getting frustrated by the slow development of the romance plot. In addition, I would have liked a little more back story on Skye's life so that I could better understand her motivations and actions. In spite of these things, the book is an admirable freshman effort for Randolph that is worth checking out.
