From #1 New York Times bestselling author Sandra Brown comes a heart-pounding new thriller about the will to survive and an unlikely partnership. When Jordie Bennet and Shaw Kinnard locked eyes across a run-down bayou bar, something definitely sparked between them. Shaw was the kind of tall, dark, and ruthless man who was bad news to women and stunning, elegant Jordie definitely shouldn't have been in a dive like this. Unfortunately, romance wasn't in the air; Shaw Kinnard was there to kill her. As Shaw's partner takes aim at the New Orleans party planner, she's certain her time has come, but Shaw has other plans. The hit man abducts Jordie hoping to get his hands on the thirty million dollars her brother has stolen. Now on the run from the FBI and her brother's crooked boss, they'll have to work together to stay alive, but staying together might be the most dangerous thing they could do.
