FBI profiler Kerry Satterfield feels she can never live down her mother’s sordid past. She pursues her chosen career with dogged determination that leaves no time for a life, certainly none for romance. Then she gets a strange tip on her current case. She ends up prisoner of a man she hasn’t seen for over fifteen years before he hands her a most unorthodox means of breaking this case. If it fails, she’s in deep trouble. She may be anyway, because she finds Frank Ogden all too alluring. Frank has cooperated with his stepbrother out of fear his mother will be killed if he doesn’t. He agrees to get the nosy FBI agent off Gary’s back, but he will not stand to see her hurt or killed. When he realizes she’s the girl he befriended when they were both teenagers, he can’t resist the opportunity to pick up where they had left off. Kerry is a hottie now even if she doesn’t realize it. Then Kerry, Frank, and his friend Roy band together to bring Gary to justice. In the process they discover they make a great team, both armed and amorous.

She hesitated on the stoop when he opened the door before she knocked. The gaze she swept over him was keen and assessing. Then she gave a slight nod. “You aren’t the kidnapper. I wondered.”


He stepped back to motion her in. “That’s a strange assumption to make, just like that.”


“The kidnapper is a larger man, bulkier, unless you wear some kind of padded suit. Anyway, the real perp is not going to invite the FBI in to interview him. You said you had information, though. You’d better not just be playing some stupid game.”
