Publisher's Synopsis
Bad boy, married-to-his-job FBI agent Cole Lucas always gets his man. So when the unthinkable happens and one gets away, Cole grits his teeth and hunts human trafficker Carlo Maldonado all the way to Antioch, Texas, where he collides with Detective Andi MacLaren. Cole doesn't do small towns and doesn't get involved with women he works with, but Andi tempts him in ways he doesn't want to acknowledge. With two murders, her partner shot, and leading the investigation on her own, the last thing Andi needs is a cocky FBI agent who sees her as no more than a tagalong. Widow and single mother Andi is used to being on her own. When Cole gets stuck without a place to stay, crashing on her couch puts them in dangerous territory. Attraction and passion bring Andi to a place she'd left behind when her husband died. Her three-year-old son quickly wiggles his way into Cole's heart, and Cole starts contemplating things-family, love-that he'd never planned for himself. Can being forced to work together make them stronger, or will their differences jeopardise their case and their hearts? Reader Advisory: This book contains references to human trafficking and scenes of kidnap.
