New York Times bestselling author Karen Robardsâs thrilling contemporary romantic suspense novel featuring an electric attraction between a cop and a thief.
Itâs not that Micayla Lange is afraid of the clinking she hears coming from the first floor of the empty McMansion sheâs housesitting for her uncle Nicco. Sheâs a cop, after all. Itâs just that finding out her boyfriend was cheating on her was enough drama for one night. Now sheâs alone on New Yearâs Eve, wearing flannel pajamas and wielding a Glock 22 as she zeroes in on the unmistakable source of the sound: Uncle Niccoâs private office.
Jason Davis steals things for a living, so unexpected developments are a natural part of the job. Getting caught red-handed by a hot, pigtail-sporting police officer in what is supposed to be a gangsterâs deserted house is just one more twist in the game. Kind of like finding incriminating photos in Nicco Marinoâs safe, only to discover the copâand the security camerasâ have gotten a real good look at his face.
Unfortunately for Mick, she also got a good look at the damned pictures. Her âuncleâ might love her like family, but if he knows sheâs seen evidence that implicates him in the murder of a city councilman, she doesnât like her chances. Which is why sheâs having a hard time reconciling her professional instincts with what she is rapidly concluding is an inescapable fact: Sheâs about to help a criminal get away with a suitcase full of stolen money. And sheâs going with him.
Mick and Jasonâs race for their lives hurtles them through the dangerous Michigan wilderness on speedboat and snowmobile. As their adventure heats up and their enemies close in, Mick is torn between her duty to the force and the combustible passion engulfing her and her unlikely partner in crime. Sheâll have to turn Jason in sooner or laterâif they survive. But will they ever get a second chance at love?
