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

He nodded. “None of us are going in there empty-handed. Next stop is my mother’s place. We should get there before Gary does if he’s staying where I think he is, but I could be wrong. I hope I’m not wrong, though. I’m driving, okay, Roy?”


“Sure. You know the quickest way to get there.”


Frank drove fast but carefully, keeping an eye on the rearview mirror and a look-out for any cops cruising around. He didn’t need to be stopped for speeding right now. In just over ten minutes, he pulled into the alley behind his mother’s little house. It was an older neighborhood, once one of the better areas in town, but now boasting mostly retirees and a few young families who could afford the 1960s era homes.


The house sat, dark and silent, as it should be. The first hint of daybreak had barely lightened the eastern horizon. He expected Gary would probably be here in about five to ten more minutes, the time it took to drive across town.
