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.

Armed and Amorous

“What the hell are you talking about? Who are you?”


“Frank, Frank Steadman. No, it can’t be.”


He exhaled, almost a sigh. “Yeah, it is, but I go by Ogden now…my real dad’s name. Don’t want to be connected to my damned stepbrother in any way I can help. By the way, he’s the man you want. Don’t ask me how, but I know. I’m sorry for what we did to you, but you’re safe right now. As long as you aren’t getting too close, Gary isn’t going to worry about you for a while.”


A different sort of excitement sizzled along Kerry’s nerves. “Gary, your stepbrother, the one who always bullied you. He’s the kidnapper?” She barely kept her voice in a matching whisper.
