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

Kerry slouched in the back seat of the small Ford, trying to convince herself she was okay with all this. The worst part was her purse and her pistol were both back in Roy’s apartment. The fact Frank wouldn’t let her take them along eroded the fragile trust in him she’d begun to build. If this wild ass plan falls through, we’re all going to be in deep shit. I wonder, could I jump and run when Roy stops for a light?


At that moment, Frank turned in the seat, looking back at her. “Don’t even think about it, Kerry. This car has those childproof locks. Only Roy can open them when the car’s in gear. Even if you did get a door open and make a break for it, you’d be likely to get hurt. I don’t want that to happen and for sure I don’t want to have to hurt you myself.”
