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

Frank took out his cell phone, hitting a one-button speed dial. It must have been answered almost at once. “Mom?”


Kerry could only hear his half of the conversation.


“Did you call Jeff Cantrell like I said?”


He listened a moment and then nodded slightly. “Don’t worry about it, Mom. If this guy is as nice a man as you’ve said, he won’t think less of you for seeking his help. I’m pretty sure Gary has no clue you have a new male friend. Get over to his place and don’t leave until I tell you all’s clear, okay?


“No, I’m not in any danger, Mom. I’m with an FBI agent.” He glanced at Kerry and winked


She rolled her eyes. “Come off it, Ogden. That’s a bunch of hooey!”


He ended the call, still grinning at her. “You arean FBI agent, aren’t you? You’re here, aren’t you? So what’s your beef?”
