Stowaway

"He s handsome, hot, hunted and hurt a plea for help from this detective is one her heart can t refuse. "

Keri Merritt desperately needs her long-overdue vacation, preferably as far as she can get from anyone with a badge. It s not that she doesn t respect those modern knights, but between her job as a trauma nurse and her overprotective law enforcement family, she s overrun.

When she finds something in the back of her truck she definitely "didn t" pack, all hope of a peaceful break from reality burns away in the heat of a dark, fevered gaze. Behind those chocolate eyes lies everything she wants to avoid.

Nick Lamanto is in trouble. He s tracked the mastermind of a gunrunning operation from Florida to Tennessee, only to wind up with an attempted murder warrant hanging over his head, a bullet in his arm and no one he can trust. Except the sheriff s petite, strong-willed daughter, whose jittery finger is on the trigger of the .45 pointed between his eyes.

Lucky for Nick, Keri s healing instinct kicks in. And so does a powerful attraction sharper than the needle with which she stitches him. As the threads of his investigation connect with unanswered questions about Keri s past, keeping her safe matters more to him than his next breath. Even if it s his last

Warning: If you have a weakness for dark-haired, dark-eyed law enforcement officers with strong protective instincts, prepare to lose your heart.
